There is only one ever recorded violent other throw of government in US history which was successful. It occurred in 1898 in Wilmington North Carolina. It was the days when Democrats were the racist party and the Republicans the nice ones. In North Carolina it would other throw the rights that the Black community had won in the Civil War, a mob of democrats marched into Wilmington forced the Republican mayor out of town along with Black and White officials, the mob also killed 20 black civilians and burnt down houses. Unfortunately I can’t say this surprised me when I came across a article on the event after clicking random article on Wikipedia.

What did shock me was that it took until January this year for the North Carolina Democrat party to formally apologise for the event, that’s well over a hundred years. Really how did North Carolina miss that for that long????
