About: Cockstock incident

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Cockstock incident was a major factor in the passage of an 1844 exclusion law against free black men living within the U.S. Territory of Oregon. It centered on a fight between a Wasco Native American man, Cockstock, and a free black man, James D. Saules, over ownership of a horse. The argument escalated into a melee on March 4, 1844 that killed three men, and led to rhetoric among white settlers that African Americans could create an uprising among local Native American tribes against black and white settlers alike.
