Question

The wrongful conviction of Leo Frank for the death of Mary Phagan, and his later murder, were representative of which prejudices held by many in the South at that time?

Answer 1

The case of Leo Frank, where he was convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, demonstrated the anti-Semitism in the South during the early 1900s. He was later kidnapped from prison and subsequently lynched for the crime, which he did not commit.
