Morphological type: compound
Etymology: Blend of Latin miscēre (“mix”) + Latin genus (“race”) + -ation.

Later, it was exposed that the pretext of the pamphlet was false and that it had actually been written by a group which hoped to inflame anger, particularly against then-US President Abraham Lincoln who was up for reelection.
