What was significant about the Leo frank case? Select 2. A. He was later pardoned for the crime he was accused b. Was an example of African American prejustice c. Mop that lynched Leo frank was charged for the crime d. Example of anti semitism
The correct answers are c. The mob that lynched Leo Frank was charged for the crime and d. It was an example of anti-Semitism.
The Leo Frank case was a highly controversial and significant case that occurred in Georgia, United States, in 1913. Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager, was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a 13-year-old girl named Mary Phagan.
The case exhibited a strong undercurrent of anti-Semitism and has been widely seen as a miscarriage of justice. Vigilantes formed a mob and kidnapped Frank from prison, lynching him in 1915. This act shocked the nation and led to the eventual revival of the Ku Klux Klan.
In 1986, more than 70 years after Leo Frank's conviction, Frank was posthumously pardoned by the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles. Although not granted during his lifetime, this pardon acknowledged the injustice and anti-Semitic motivations that tainted his trial and subsequent death.
