摘要

本文首次提供了税收政策对针对黑人政治家的暴力袭击的影响的证据。我发现地方税收对随后针对黑人政客的暴力行为有积极影响。1870年，人均县税收每增加一美元，暴力袭击的可能性就会增加25%以上。结果对许多经济、历史和政治因素的控制是稳健的。我还发现，黑人官员遭到袭击的县的税收返还幅度最大。这为重建时期的政治暴力与黑人政治效能的具体关系提供了第一个定量证据。

Whitelashing: Black Politicians, Taxes, and Violence

This paper provides the first evidence of the effect of tax policy on violent attacks against Black politicians. I find a positive effect of local tax revenue on subsequent violence against Black politicians. A dollar increase in per capita county taxes in 1870 increased the likelihood of a violent attack by more than 25 percent. The result is robust to controls for numerous economic, historical, and political factors. I also find counties where Black officeholders were attacked have the largest tax reversions. This provides the first quantitative evidence that Reconstruction political violence was specifically related to Black political efficacy.
