Chinese massacre of 1871
The Chinese massacre of 1871 was a racially motivated riot on October 24, 1871 in Los Angeles, when a mob of over 500 white men entered Chinatown to attack, rob, and murder Chinese residents of the city. The riots took place on Calle de los Negros (Street of the Negroes), also referred to as "Nigger Alley", which later became part of Los Angeles Street. A total of 18 Chinese immigrants were systematically killed by the mob, making the so-called "Chinatown War" one of the largest incidents of mass lynching in American history.
==Riot and massacre==
The riot and massacre were allegedly triggered by the killing of Robert Thompson, a local rancher, who was caught in the cross-fire during a gun battle between two Chinese factions. This fight was part of a longstanding feud over the abduction of a Chinese woman named Yut Ho.〔Scott Zesch, "Chinese Los Angeles in 1870—1871: The Makings of a Massacre", ''Southern California Quarterly'', 90 (Summer 2008), 109-158; Paul M. De Falla, "Lantern in the Western Sky", ''The Historical Society of Southern California Quarterly'', 42 (March 1960), 57-88 (Part I), and 42 (June 1960), 161-185 (Part II).〕
The dead Chinese in Los Angeles were hanging at three places near the heart of the downtown business section of the city; from the wooden awning over the sidewalk in front of a carriage shop; from the sides of two “prairie schooners” parked on the street around the corner from the carriage shop; and from the cross-beam of a wide gate leading into a lumberyard a few blocks away from the other two locations. One of the victims was hanged without his trousers and minus a finger on his left hand.〔(USC lessons ) 〕
Practically every Chinese-occupied building on the block was ransacked and almost every resident was attacked or robbed. A total of 18 Chinese immigrants were tortured and then hanged by the mob, making the event the largest mass lynching in American history.〔Erika Lee, Review of ''The Chinatown War: Chinese Los Angeles and the Massacre of 1871,'' by Scott Zesch, ''Journal of American History,'' vol. 100, no. 1 (June 2013), pg. 217.〕
