This article examines the foundation of private segregationist academies that emerged throughout the US South in the wake of court-ordered desegregation. I focus on the state of MS where private academies grew dramatically from 1969 to 1971. I provide an analytic history of civil rights &amp; school desegregation conflicts in MS, &amp; I use OLS models to examine county-level variation in local support for private academies during this period. My analysis shows that the formation of academies occurs as a response to desegregation i) when there is a credible threat that desegregation will be implemented (implicitly signaling the &#8220;success&#8221; of the movement); ii) when blacks have the organizational capacity to make claims &amp; voice protest within newly desegregated schools; &amp; iii) when whites have the organizational capacity to resist desegregation. These three specifications extend models of racial competition that have been used to explain white countermobilization.  I argue that the establishment of academies was a countermovement strategy that flowed out of the prior history of organized white resistance to the civil-rights movement. In other words, whites were not only responding to court intervention &amp; the proportion of African Americans in their community, but to the social movement mobilization of that community. 2 Tables, 1 Figure, 79 References.
