Wilmington 1898: When white supremacists overthrew a US government
* By Toby Luckhurst
* BBC News
17 January 2021
The mob burned down the offices of the Wilmington Daily Record
A violent mob, whipped into a frenzy by politicians, tearing apart a town to overthrow the elected government.
Following state elections in 1898, white supremacists moved into the US port of Wilmington, North Carolina, then the largest city in the state. They destroyed black-owned businesses, murdered black residents, and forced the elected local government - a coalition of white and black politicians - to resign en masse.
Historians have described it as the only coup in US history. Its ringleaders took power the same day as the insurrection and swiftly brought in laws to strip voting and civil rights from the state's black population. They faced no consequences.
Wilmington's story has been thrust into the spotlight after a violent mob assaulted the US Capitol on 6 January, seeking to stop the certification of November's presidential election result. More than 120 years after its insurrection, the city is still grappling with its violent past.

Wilmington coup and massacre
United States history [1898]
Alternate titles: Wilmington insurrection of 1898
Wilmington coup and massacre, political coup and massacre in which the multiracial Fusionist (Republican and Populist) city government of Wilmington, North Carolina, was violently overthrown on November 10, 1898, and as many as 60 Black Americans were killed in a premeditated murder spree that was the culmination of an organized months-long statewide campaign by white supremacists to eliminate African American participation in government and permanently disenfranchise Black citizens of North Carolina. The coup followed on the heels of an election for the county, state, and federal governments that restored a Democratic majority in the state legislature, which set about enacting Jim Crow legislation that disenfranchised Black people in North Carolina for many decades to come.

Velshi: We’re Watching The Rise Of A Trump Dictatorship | MSNBC

Among other things, the former president wants to start executing drug dealers and calling in the National Guard without going through the proper channels first.
“Should he win a second term in 2024, not only will the walls off the White House look like a Jackson Pollock sponsored by Heinz, but he won’t have a single lingering doubt about going full totalitarian dictator.”
“After fantasizing about mass executions, Trump then moved onto his reported plans to fire thousands of federal employees—the ones who actually know what they’re doing—and replace them with MAGA loyalists:
