Charlottesville in 1914 was a small Albemarle County seat of a few thousand residents, with its economy tied to the surrounding farms and to the rail lines that moved their grain, livestock, and dairy goods to market. That summer, war broke out in Europe, and the news reached a town where many families still kept close ties to the South's older planter and professional classes. Local papers carried dispatches from abroad, and the university's young men and faculty followed each report with particular attention. Segregation shaped daily life throughout the town, dividing its schools, churches, and streetcar-era neighborhoods along racial lines. Most residents would have known Charlottesville as a quiet county center under the long shadow of Jefferson's university.
