A red record

 
In her the book titled "A Red Record", Ida B. Wells raised many ideas among which constitutional equality, indignation, outlawry, sadism, anarchy. All her thoughts and work went against the exercise of racism established in the society by the white men.
 She argued that the black men are part of the nation, therefore they should be protected by the laws and the government who gave those rights is responsible to preserve the integrity of their person. She is outraged to see how a class of people, in order to preserve their supremacy upon another can denied the laws of a land based on human rights, equality and social security, whereby the outlawry sight of her campaign. Wells also mentioned the sadism with which white men shot into pieces the black people bodies. Pointed lynching as an act of terror perpetrated against the African American population in order to maintain their power and control over their lives. The absent of government's interference as Wells revealed it boosted the anarchy that was going on in the southern states in the early 1890.
