Julie Hayden (teacher)

[1] Hayden moved from Nashville to Hartsville in Trousdale County, Tennessee to "educate black people".

[4] Three days after her arrival in Hartsville, on August 21 at 2:00 am, the Lowe home was invaded by members of the White Man's League, who chased her through the house and shot and killed her.

[1][3][4] According to Harper's Weekly, "Her murderers escaped, nor is it likely that the death of Julia Hayden will ever be avenged, unless the nation insists upon the extermination of the White Man's League.

[5] In September 1874, Black citizens of Spring Hill, where Hayden's family lived, petitioned Tennessee Governor John C. Brown to find and arrest the murderers.

[7] According to Alan Friedlander and Richard Allen Garber, Hayden "became the poster child of southern violence".
