Who said it was only in Arkansas? I guess I have to spell everything out for you. I was saying that it wasn't surprising that many blacks wanted to maintain segregation at least in good part due to the intimidation factor. It was powerful. Not just or even primarily due to lynchings. There were sundown towns. There were beatings. There was verbal abuse. Not from everyone. Not even, I strongly suspect, from most people (I have lived south of Mason-Dixon line for most of my life, so yeah, I know something about the south, although true, I haven't lived in the Deep South). But from enough people. A significant minority.
