As African Americans settled in Cairo to seek jobs on steamboats, ferries, in shipping and railroads, there were tensions between the racial groups. White residents sometimes used violence and terrorism, as well as discrimination, to keep black residents in second-class positions. They excluded them from the city government and the police and fire departments, and relatively few African Americans were hired to work in the local stores. </p><p>There were three <a href="/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States" title="Lynching in the United States">lynchings of blacks</a> in Alexander County in the years between Reconstruction and the early 20th century.
