At the close of the nineteenth century, the Democratic Party in
North Carolina engineered a white supremacy revolution. Frustrated
by decades of African American self-assertion and threatened by an
interracial coalition advocating democratic reforms, white
conservatives used violence, demagoguery, and fraud to seize
political power and disenfranchise black citizens. The most
notorious episode of the campaign was the Wilmington ""race riot""
of 1898, which claimed the lives of many black residents and rolled
back decades of progress for African Americans in the state.
Published on the centennial of the Wilmington race riot, Democracy
Betrayed draws together the best new scholarship on the events of
1898 and their aftermath. Contributors to this important book hope
to draw public attention to the tragedy, to honor its victims, and
to bring a clear and timely historical voice to the debate over its
legacy. The contributors are David S. Cecelski, William H. Chafe,
Laura F. Edwards, Raymond Gavins, Glenda E. Gilmore, John Haley,
Michael Honey, Stephen Kantrowitz, H. Leon Prather Sr., Timothy B.
Tyson, LeeAnn Whites, and Richard Yarborough. |Twelve essays on the
Wilmington ""race riot"" of 1898--the most notorious episode of a
white supremacy campaign in which white conservatives used
violence, demagoguery, and fraud to seize political power and
disenfranchise black citizens.
