Far from clear that they were psychopaths. The entire thing was de facto (if not explicitly) approved by the white population of Mississippi. There needs to be a move away from trying to frame this sort of thing in that period as an outlying event. It was the very air everyone breathed. It also points out how preposterous it is to think that magically things changed overnight because a federal law was passed.
