The Hamburg Massacre (or Red Shirt Massacre or Hamburg riot) was a key event in the African American town of Hamburg, South Carolina in July 1876, leading up to the last election season of the Reconstruction Era. It was the first of a series of civil disturbances planned and carried out by white Democrats in the majority-black Republican Edgefield District, with the goal of suppressing black voting, disrupting Republican meetings, and suppressing black Americans civil rights, through actual and threatened violence.[1]
Beginning with a dispute over free passage on a public road, the massacre was rooted in racial hatred and political motives. A court hearing attracted armed white "rifle clubs," colloquially called the "Red Shirts". Desiring to regain control of state governments and eradicate the civil rights of black Americans, over 100 white men attacked about 30 black servicemen of the National Guard at the armory, killing two as they tried to leave that night. Later that night, the Red Shirts tortured and murdered four of the militia while holding them as prisoners, and wounded several others. In total, the events in Hamburg resulted in the death of one white man and six black men with several more blacks being wounded. Although 94 white men were indicted for murder by a coroner's jury, none were prosecuted.
The events were a catalyst in the overarching violence in the volatile 1876 election campaign. There were other episodes of violence in the months before the election, including an estimated 100 blacks killed during several days in Ellenton, South Carolina, also in Aiken County. The Southern Democrats succeeded in "redeeming" the state government and electing Wade Hampton III as governor. During the remainder of the century, they passed laws to establish single-party white rule, impose legal segregation and "Jim Crow," and disenfranchise blacks with a new state constitution adopted in 1895. This exclusion of blacks from the political system was effectively maintained into the late 1960s.

The answer is, Debbie is exhibiting <span>grossly disorganized behavior.

Grossly disorganized behavior incorporates trouble in objective coordinated conduct (prompting challenges in exercises in every day living), unusual agitation or strangeness, social disinhibition [loss of ordinary inhibitions], or practices that are peculiar to spectators. Their purposelessness recognizes them from uncommon conduct provoked by fanciful convictions.
Using the mnemonic. Hope this helps, have a BLESSED day! :-)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Do we have it all wrong about "civilization" being desirable versus "barbarian" society that often resides in the hills being regarded as "uncivilized"?
No. What happens is that in modern times, we find people in societies that behave in the most stranges ways. We can think that people that live in modern societies have a certain degree of formal education, behave themselves according to social patterns and traditions that are expected by other members of society, and show respect and tolerance to other people that think and act differently.
However, as we see it on the news, barbaric conducts are common in modern societies. Even worse than the barbaric behaviors we could expect to see from "uncivilized" people. They have to survive in the wild, that is why they seem to act "uncivilized." But educated or modern people, well, they are supposed to be the educated ones. And many times we are not seeing that by the way they act or react to confront daily situations.
