Editing Haywood County, Tennessee (section)

==Demographics==
Since 1940, the county population has generally declined. Many Black Americans left after confrontations and the murder of Elbert Williams in 1940 related to Black attempts to register to vote. In addition, mechanization of agriculture reduced the need for farm workers, and other African-Americans left as part of the second wave of the [[Great Migration (African American)|Great Migration]].{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}
