Is there any way that, during the turn of the 19th-20th C, genocide could have been orchestrated against blacks in 1 or more states of the Deep South under the likes of such virulent racist demagogues as James K. Vardaman of Ms ? Given the level of racism at that time thruout virtually the entire US, and the OTL failure to combat Jim Crow such as the non-eventuation of any anti-lynching legislation at the federal level, would the federal govt have taken any action against such overt plans and actions to exterminate black ppl along similar lines as the systematic atrocities on the scale of pogroms and mass killings committed in other places like Russia (against the Jews), Turkey (againts the Armenians), or South-West Africa (against the Herrero-Nama) ? Could Vardaman et al have begun what Featherstone does in TL-191 thru pogroms and mass lynchings right up to concentration camps ?
