The Camilla Riot occurred when Republicans and freedmen came to Camilla, Georgia on Saturday, September 19, 1868, and were met with violent opposition from the townspeople. Jones recalls how he and another freedman, John Wesley, overheard the miller at Tinsley's mill, Mr. Hines, say that he did not think the townspeople would allow John Murphy, the Republican Party elector, to speak in Camilla. Although Jones set out for Camilla to attend the rally, carrying his gun loaded with turkey shot, he states that \"never fired it\" though he was there to witness James Johns, the inebriated Camilla resident who fired the shots that began the riot, \"pointing his gun plainly in the direction of the bandwagon.\" Jones then fled, and was pursued until he escaped into the nearby woods.\nDigital image and transcription created by the Digital Library of Georgia in 2001 of a photocopy held by DeSoto Trail Regional Library of an original record held by the National Archives."]},"rights":"http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/","requiredStatement":{"label":{"en":["Attribution"]},"value":{"en":["No Copyright - United States (http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/)\nDe Soto Trail Regional Library System"]}},"provider":[{"id":"https://dlg.usg.edu/","type":"Agent","label":{"en":["De Soto Trail Regional Library System"]},"logo":[{"id":"https://dlg.usg.edu/uploads/holding_institution/215/image/record_image.jpg","type":"Image","format":"image/jpeg"}]}],"seeAlso":[{"id":"https://dlg.usg.edu/record/dlg_zlcu_cam042.json","type":"Dataset","format":"application/json"}],"metadata":[{"label":{"en":["Title"]},"value":{"en":["Affidavit of William Jones: Dougherty County, Georgia, 1868 Sept. 28"]}},{"label":{"en":["Holding Institution"]},"value":{"en":["De Soto Trail Regional Library System"]}},{"label":{"en":["Online Collection"]},"value":{"en":["Civil Unrest in Camilla, Georgia, 1868 : Reconstruction, Republicanism, and Race"]}},{"label":{"en":["Date"]},"value":{"en":["1868-09-28"]}},{"label":{"en":["Subject"]},"value":{"en":["African Americans--Georgia--History--19th century\nAfrican Americans--Georgia--Social conditions--To 1964\nFreedmen--Georgia--Political activity\nFreedmen--Georgia--Violence against\nFreedmen--Georgia--Personal narratives\nReconstruction--Georgia\nPolitical violence--Georgia--Camilla\nMitchell County (Ga.)--Race relations\nMitchell County (Ga.)--Politics and government\nUnited States.
