Question

What is the “new cry,” as mentioned in the section of the same name (paragraphs 11-15)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The “new cry,” as mentioned in the section of the same name (paragraphs 11-15) is "This is a white man's country and the white man must rule."

Explanation:

Ida B. Wells in her argument named "Southern Horrors," explains how the leading men of the South apologized for executing in response to a heinous crime and white men weren't punished for ravishing black women. She pointed out that executing was not a response to the violation of dignity but a response to the menacing tactic used by white men to continue their rule in the South after the Civil War. The idea was to frighten the blacks so that they don't exercise their freedom, civil liberties and the right to vote. This is what is meant by "new cry."

Answer 2

"New cry" used is that this is a white man's country and the white men must rule.

Explanation:

Ida B. Wells talks abut the discrimination done among the people of the black and the white community. The people who belonged to the black community were not given proper rights and there were discrimination against them. The blacks do not have rights with them, they do not have the right to vote also and can not exercise any kind of freedom or liberty.

The men of the black community were making apologies for lynching for heinous crime that they committed. Where as the white men were not punished for crime like raping a woman also. So in the section, "New Cry", she meant that it is world of white and they will rule.
