The lynchings of Isaac Kemp, William Andrews, Garfield King, James Reed, George Armwood, Matthew Williams, and an unknown victim were not the only instances of mob violence on the Lower Eastern Shore of Maryland. Between 1868 and 1940, over 20 Black men and two women accused of crimes were the victims of attempted lynchings. These instances of racial terror followed the same patterns as those that lead to the deaths of other victims. Attempted lynchings included extrajudicial posses formed to apprehend the suspects, rumors of plans to seize a suspect from jail to be killed, or actual mobs formed with the intention of hanging a suspect themselves--yet were thwarted by law enforcement.
