Title: Wilmington's Lie: The Murderous Coup of 1898 and the Rise of White Supremacy

Author: David Zucchino

Narrator: Victor Bevine

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11:27:52

Language: English

Release date: 01-14-20

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: History, North America

Summary:

From Pulitzer Prize winner David Zucchino comes a searing account of the Wilmington riot and

coup of 1898, an extraordinary event unknown to most Americans

By the 1890s, Wilmington was North Carolinas 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 stateand the Southwhite supremacist Democrats were working to reverse the advances made by

former slaves and their progeny.

In North Carolina, Democrats were plotting to take back the state legislature in November by the

ballot or bullet or both, and then to trigger a race riot to overthrow Wilmingtons multi-racial government.

Led by prominent citizens including Josephus Daniels, publisher of the states 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 blacksand sympathetic whiteswere

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 Wilmingtons 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.
