For almost a hundred years after the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898, the North Carolina government refused to recognize what had happened. But we should recognize it for what it was: a violent coup launched in response to Black political participation.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/wilmington-massacre/536457/ …
In 1874, African Americans were a majority in Eufaula, AL and had been electing Black Republicans to local office. On election, the White League, a white supremacist paramilitary group, launched an attack on African American voters at the polls.
Members of the White League killed at least seven African Americans and injured as many as seventy more. In total, more than a thousand Black voters in Eufaula and Spring Hill were driven away from the polls as a result of this racist violence.https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/1874-election-riot/ …
In 1898, when an election official in Greenwood County, South Carolina tried to take affidavits from African Americans who had been denied the right to vote, a white mob became outraged and led four days of racist violence targeting Black voters throughout the county.
The white mob murdered a dozen African Americans and burned down Black-owned businesses. To this day, the SC gov't refers to this act of terrorism, which sought to deny Black people the right to participate in the political process, as a "race riot."https://www.scencyclopedia.org/sce/entries/phoenix-riot/ …
