By the 1890s, Wilmington was North Carolina’s largest city and a shining example of a mixed-race community. It was a bustling port city with a burgeoning African American middle class and a Fusionist government of Republicans and Populists that included black aldermen, police officers and magistrates. There were successful black-owned businesses and an African American newspaper, The Record. But across the state—and the South—white supremacist Democrats were working to reverse the advances made by former slaves and their progeny.
In 1898, in response to a speech calling for white men to rise to the defense of Southern womanhood against the supposed threat of black predators, Alexander Manly, the outspoken young Record editor, wrote that some relationships between black men and white women were consensual. His editorial ignited outrage across the South, with calls to lynch Manly.
But North Carolina’s white supremacist Democrats had a different strategy. They were plotting to take back the state legislature in November “by the ballot or bullet or both,” and then use the Manly editorial to trigger a “race riot” to overthrow Wilmington’s multi-racial government. Led by prominent citizens including Josephus Daniels, publisher of the state’s largest newspaper, and former Confederate Colonel Alfred Moore Waddell, white supremacists rolled out a carefully orchestrated campaign that included raucous rallies, race-baiting editorials and newspaper cartoons, and sensational, fabricated news stories.
With intimidation and violence, the Democrats suppressed the black vote and stuffed ballot boxes (or threw them out), to win control of the state legislature on November 8th. Two days later, more than 2,000 heavily armed Red Shirts swarmed through Wilmington, torching the Record office, terrorizing women and children, and shooting at least sixty black men dead in the streets. The rioters forced city officials to resign at gunpoint and replaced them with mob leaders. Prominent blacks—and sympathetic whites—were banished. Hundreds of terrified black families took refuge in surrounding swamps and forests.
This brutal insurrection is a rare instance of a violent overthrow of an elected government in the U.S. It halted gains made by blacks and restored racism as official government policy, cementing white rule for another half century. It was not a “race riot,” as the events of November 1898 came to be known, but rather a racially motivated rebellion launched by white supremacists.
In Wilmington’s Lie, Pulitzer Prize winner David Zucchino uses contemporary newspaper accounts, diaries, letters and official communications to create a gripping and compelling narrative that weaves together individual stories of hate and fear and brutality. This is a dramatic and definitive account of a remarkable but forgotten chapter of American history.

Like Tulsa ‘21, another case of white terrorism left out of most history books. Great upload, thanks!

Man I wonder if this was as horrible as the “Insurrection” impossible I suppose since that was the worst day in World History.

It’s really sad to think of what may have been if African Americans were permitted to take their rightful place alongside white Americans and build a country where everyone can live together and flourish.

@BillyJack Thankfully, it is never too late.

More race baiting brilliance.
Jack will be along soon touching himself in glee at the prospect of being able to hate himself for being white just a bit more than he already does.
And yeah, anyone who’s seen Zimbabwe or South Africa can imagine the incredible nation that white Americans could have built with the amazing input and assistance of the black ones.

Black people really upset you don’t they. I mean, their very existence totally angers you. They should all be wiped out, eh GordonCOON.
If only there was a word for people like you…

@alnialm, while two wrongs don’t make a right, whataboutism doesn’t address the subject of this book.

I have a technical complaint about all these leftist works they almost all become little more than a testimonial or at worst a travel log, this one is far from the worst in that regard but isn’t free of the problem. I’d say that I want my enemy’s point articulated succinctly but that seems impossible both due to the predilections of the writers and the fact that their position isn’t supported by the available data thus requiring this round-about manner of argumentation. So lets get down the brass tacks.
If the US was entirely white it would have had a federal budget surplus of between 0.8 and 1.8 trillion(2010USD) every single year for the last 40 years.
Each white contributes a net of approximately 7,500USD to the federal government each year. Each black contributes a net of approximately -9,000USD to the federal government each year. Each hispanic contributes a net of approximately -6,000USD to the federal government each year. This is the cost of “diversity” incurred by the white America without accounting for the cost of incarceration of the prominently non-white criminals, law enforcement to countermand predominantly non-white crime, and the more generous state and city welfare systems which almost entirely benefit non-whites alone.

I’d say that the whites in the US, or at least the ruling classes have been kinder to outsiders who do no belong here than any other state in history to their own detriment. If my people were in charge we’d have murdered half the world by now and replaced them with our children. Just saying.

History is critically important, but I hope this isn’t about how whites are evil and how blacks are their victims. If we want peace, then we must be peace makers. That means, rather than blaming Caucasian for what other Caucasian did in the past, we recognize the good that people are capable of by virtue of their humanity, instead of demeaning by virtue of their ethnicity.

Neo-confederates: “We must remember our heritage !! No, not that!! Or that either. Definitely not that. Okay, why do you have to bring that up?”
