Summary

Embark on a journey through the American history and discover the story about the Wilmington Coup of 1898.

When, where, why, how? These are the questions that every historian tries to answer regarding any historical event. If you are a history lover and you like to uncover shocking and intriguing events, you are in for a treat. In The Wilmington Coup of 1898, you will follow the events that led to the growth of white supremacy in the southeastern part of North Carolina, the vicious and vile massacre that occurred, and the aftermath that followed.

November 10, 1898, is a day that North Carolina will quietly remember forever. By sunset of that very day, a confirmed 60 people had been massacred, and white supremacists had overthrown the local Black government (elected only two days prior) in a violent and deadly coup d’état.

The United States of America may have seen vast amounts of violence, a lot of which had been on its soil, but this massacre was unique - this was the only coup to ever occur on American soil. 

The truth behind the events that occurred on that day became lost to history for several decades. This is because the perpetrators behind the massacre wrote their history, and they were cast as heroes in American history textbooks. At the same time, the Black victims were portrayed as the instigators of the violent attacks.

But now, more than 100 years later, the truth, backed up by irrefutable facts and witness statements, is here. Follow the events that happened prior to and during the Wilmington Coup, and find your answers to when, where, why, and how! Download your copy now!
