Incorrect information regarding 1876 incident[edit]

I have edited, once again, the historical information regarding the 1876 incident that has repeatedly been reported incorrectly. Any information suggesting race was involved in the incident is incorrect. There are incorrect reports stating the men removed from the county jail were black. They were not. It was a political rivalry incident, not a race incident. Below are two article links from the era, none of which mention black (or from that time 'colored'). It was common journalistic practice to say so, if that were the case during that era. It was always otherwise assumed all parties were white. Additionally, also linked below is a US census report noting the race of Wells family as W, or White. The census data (from 1870) shows the Wells family in Haywood County, a part of the area included in the new Crockett County formation a year later. The Supreme Court case later centered on whether or not an individual should consider themselves safe while in the hands of local law enforcement. It was a matter of individual rights, and was not race related whatsoever. The county has repeatedly been besmirched with an incorrect story and I have been trying repeatedly to correct this mistake.
