Abstract

American historians have traditionally seen the period from 1915 to 1920 as one of heightened interracial tensions. Several historians have cited the emergence of the "New Negro" or the communist scare as the main reason for the heightened tensions. While those reasons may have contributed somewhat to the tension, the real source of the tension lies elsewhere. My study of Jacksonville has provided different reasons for the tension. Tension increased because of working-class African American resistance in Jacksonville, the impact of the Great Migration on Jacksonville, and the change in white attitudes concerning race.
