I’m confused as to why it’s significant

exactly ol

Why is it a big deal?

thas wa i ask u

Because it's literally the only to to ever be successful on American soil

why is what a big deal

i have aslep writing this

If you think that's not important to American history, then you must be an idiot

It is one thing to just have a dispute between the bodies of government

<:CursedEmoji:763140778770825247>

But for a literal Insurrection of an elected government is insane and it's extremely important to history

a coup?

or a failed coup?

A successful coup

coup attempt

huhhhhh

Look at the information I posted above, if you think it's too biased or you dislike what is put then feel free to do your own research

But the fact is that there was a coup on American soil which saw a elected officials killed and a massacre of the several innocent civilians.

😦 but i hate reading

i mean crazy violent stuff was pretty common back then

120 years ago

But it's literally the only successful coup to ever take place on American soil

And you guys really think that's not important historically?

????

o no i just said

i hate reading

I don’t really know

and it's old so i don't care

I mean like tons of shit happened in American history

it seems historically important

i just don't care about history that much

But it should still be taught in history, America's meant to be raised as a republic with Democratic voting. And there was an election which saw African-Americans elected to government but then killed in a successful coup

woah

the coup was because they were black?

Well that's part of it. I would easily say it's the biggest part but that's not too surprising

Oh well if you look at it that way, yeah, blacks had been oppressed throughout the entirety of the 1800s so it’s no surprise that they revolted

wait

Well, white supremacists

how could a black person be elected that long ago?

Racial tensions were very severe back then, but I think it's more of the point that there was a coup on American soil

Because they didn’t want blacks to gain power
