The cost of a slave prevented most Black people from being killed during slavery. This explains why millions survived. Many were murdered, but buying another slave would cost a master over six-hundred dollars. It did not prevent torture or whipping. During the Jim Crow era, violence against Black people significantly increased. Violence increased even more after segregation became legal (Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896).

Not only was the law on the side of white racism but so were ordinary citizens who wandered around looking for Blacks to violate the rules of white supremacy. There are many levels in the house of white supremacy, and each dreadful yarn is connected to the overall imaginary calculus of white supremacy and the violence that it perpetuated. Violence and Jim Crow are connected at the hip.
