Possible reasons for the Slocum Massacre

Blacks were given old overworked soil to try to grow crops. Blacks kept their farming land to smaller sizes to avoid troubles with jealous whites. The combination of unfruitful land and small farms made blacks more susceptible to falling into debt when they didn't have a good harvest season. Given the history of turmoil between the races blacks felt threatened to try to advance economically.
