The Marrow of Tradition (1901) is a historical novel by the African-American author Charles W. Chesnutt, set at the time and portraying a fictional account of the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898 in Wilmington, North Carolina.This story is a fictional account of the rise of the white supremacist movement, specifically as it contributed to what was originally referred to as the race riots that took place in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1898. Critics argue over what would be a more proper term; some favor massacre while a North Carolina state commission ruled that it was a coup d'etat, the only overthrow of a legitimately elected government in United States history. Whites attacked and killed blacks in the city and overthrew the county government, establishing white supremacists in power
