The 1933 plot never got beyond the attempt to win over a military officer to lead, while 1898 coup was successful, mobilizing 2000 armed white supremacists to take control of the town, murder at least 60 African-Americans, theft of their victims' property, and appointing the members of the racist militia to what were elected public offices. 1933 doesn't even rank as an "attempt." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
