政变由该州的白人民主党人密谋并领导,最终目标是推翻威尔明顿合法选举产生的种族融合政府。[1][8][9][10][11][12]他们将反对派黑人和白人政治领导人驱逐出该市,摧毁了自南北战争重建以来黑人公民的财产和企业,包括该市唯一的黑人主导的报纸,并杀害了约60至300多人。[2][3][4][5] 因此这件事被认为是美国历史上唯一的此类事件(政变)[13][14],因为其他在美国重建时期的冲突并没有导致民选政府被非政府人员所替代。

The state of North Carolina is moving away from using the phrase "race riot" to describe the violent overthrow of the Wilmington government in 1898 and is instead using the word "coup" on the highway historical marker that will commemorate the dark event. "You don't call it that anymore because the African Americans weren't rioting," said Ansley Herring Wegner, administrator of the North Carolina Highway Historical Marker Program. "They were being massacred."
