The Mississippi Senate passes a resolution asking for federal military assistance after the White League attack on Vicksburg, winter 1874-75. Their alarm was caused by interracial violence that left 3 whites and 75 blacks dead, with accusations of corrupt color city officials, and alarm of an imminent black uprising. In fact, this was an attempted coup d'etat against the Republican led legislature by a local sheriff. Later in 1875, the Democrats carried out their 'Mississippi Plan', which used terror to suppress the Republican and black vote. Republican Governor, Adelbert Ames, held on until his forced resignation in March 29, 1876
