During the Atlanta Race Riot that occurred September 22-24, 1906, white mobs killed dozens of Black Georgians and inflicted  property damage. There is a number of underlying causes lay behind the outbreak of the mob violence. The main reason for the outbreak was because whites felt like they had to compete with black people in terms of jobs, restaurants, and living life in general. Although the riot did not begin from someone specifically, Mayor James G. Woodward played a big part in starting it.

On August 30, 1919 a biracial man named Maurice Mays was accused of murdering a white woman. He was arrested only when the cousin of the victim confirmed that is was him (Maurice Mays). Maurice's arrest inspired the Knoxville Riots. A crowd gathered outside of the jail that Maurice was placed in and had tried to infiltrate the premises. A dozen of white prisoners were free, black prisoners weren't harmed, but a lot of damage was done. A bigger crowd broke out when rumors were spread around about what happened. The riot was so bad that the national guard had been brought in, unfortunately for one of the Guards he had been killed by another guard due to him "not being able to differentiate the difference". By the time everything had cleared up and settled down there was a lot of people who came out injured and around 10 people were killed. THIS CONNECTS TO MODERN DAY BECAUSE since a lot of buildings and property were destroyed, the economy suffered a downfall becoming a major cause for The Great Depression
