13 Carrigan and Webb argue that while law enforcement officers in the American South did participate in mob acts, the leadership of the state police in Texas, the Texas Rangers, played such a prominent role in extralegal executions between 1915 and 1919 that the violence was something altogether different. The Rangers were “the blunt instrument of Anglos” in an era that some described as a “race war.” Carrigan and Webb, Forgotten Dead, 84–86.
