Answer:

Apart from the racial identity of victims, the victim's alleged sexual conduct typically triggered the lynch violence of southern white mobs.

Explanation:

  • Though the allegations about the sexual conduct of the victim were grossly false, it was made the prime reason behind justifying the acts of mob lynching by the whites.
  • The mob lynching carried out by the whites attracted criticism from all over the United States and badly angered the African American community which culminated in more degraded relations between the blacks and the whites.
