In 1961, a mob of armed KKK attacked the Monroe NC neighborhood of NAACP leader, Robert F. Williams. But they messed with the wrong ones that day. Williams & his followers engaged in an intense confronration that sent the Klan bolting. Contrary to the prevailing narrative that they were hapless victims of violence, Black Americans regularly handled business protecting themselves & their families from KKK & other racist mobs.

@Deglassco
In 1864 i had a relative who hung 22 confederate deserters in New Bern, NC. President Grant's jackass pardoned him he is not a direct ancestor of mine but a distant cousin/uncle.

Wilmington also had a southern democrat mob in 1898 overthrow black republican rule temporarily.

now the political parties are flip flopped.

@ludiusvox yes they are. Not unusual. Political parties are known for changing their policy based upon the context in which they are operating.
