finding main ideas (bootless strife)

In the book a red record by Ida b wells discusses a lot of key terms.one of these key terms being insurrection. Insurrection is an alleged rebellion or disobedience of order. The excuse of alleged insurrection was one the reasons that many African Americans were lynched. Anarchy was used to describe the government in the south during this era. Anarchy is ironically a type of government that means to be without a government. this term was used to express the south after slavery because of the disregard to what the white southerners were doing to the African American people in the sense of enforcing the law.another term used in this text was outlawry. outlawry is when the people do not abide by the rights of freedom and equality. chivalry was also used as a key term. This term was used to unify the races in the text to contrast on character and not on color, implying mostly to the rape charges against the lynched African Americans.
