"As W. E. B. DuBois observed, the profit potential of the convict lease system persuaded
many Southern planters to rely exclusively on convict labor ... 'Since 1876,' DuBois
points out, 'Negroes have been arrested on the slightest provocation and given long
sentences or fines which they were compelled to work out.'"

"Contrary to Kearney's and Tillman's logic, racial conflict did not emerge spontaneously, but rather was consciously planned by the representatives of the economically ascendant class. They needed to impede working-class unity so as to facilitate their own exploitative designs. The forthcoming 'race riots' ... were orchestrated ... to heighten the tensions and antagonism within the multiracial working class."
