| - The Election Massacre of 1874, or Coup of 1874, took place on election day, November 3, 1874, near Eufaula, Alabama in Barbour County. Freedmen comprised a majority of the population and had been electing Republican candidates to office. Members of an Alabama chapter of the White League, a paramilitary group supporting the Democratic Party's drive to regain political power in the county and state, used firearms to ambush black Republicans at the polls. In Eufaula, members of the White League killed an estimated 15-40 black voters and wounded 70, while driving away more than 1,000 unarmed black people at the polls. In attacking the polling place in Spring Hill, the League effectively hijacked the elections. They turned all Republicans out of office and Democratic candidates took a majority of offices up for election. (en)

Em Eufaula, membros da Liga Branca mataram entre 15 a 40 eleitores negros e feriram outros 70, enquanto expulsavam mais de 1.000 negros desarmados da fila das urnas. Ao atacar o local de votação em Spring Hill, a Liga Branca efetivamente sequestrou as eleições alterando seu resultado definitivamente. Eles retiraram todos os republicanos de suas funções e os candidatos democratas assumiram a maioria dos cargos da eleição. (pt)
