Let's Take A Drive Around Asheville, North Carolina
After a long ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and with the day quickly coming to an end, I had just a short while to drive around downtown Asheville, North Carolina. I hit a couple of Asheville area antique stores and grabbed some dinner, and in the middle, I drive into downtown Asheville to find a trendy city crowded with people headed to restaurants and art galleries.
I made this trip in August-September 2019.

Remains & Relics from a 1960's Theme park: The Daniel Boone Village & Railroad
This is what remains from an old Theme Park from the early 60's in Hillsborough NC, which had a Theme park Train, {Daniel Boone Railroad}, which had a Cowboy and Indian show, and other rides. Now all there is are the remnants of train tracks deep in the woods. It was started by James Freeland, who did a lot for the community and was in Fact called The Walt Disney of Hillsborough, N.C, but his dreams sadly didn't pay off the way the real Disney's did. However, he was a big philanthropist and was still well known and loved amongst his own community.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Wilmington insurrection of 1898, also known as the Wilmington massacre of 1898 or the Wilmington race riot of 1898, occurred in Wilmington, North Carolina on November 10, 1898. It is considered a turning point in post-Reconstruction North Carolina politics. The event initiated an era of more severe racial segregation and effective disenfranchisement of African Americans throughout the South, a shift already underway since passage by Mississippi of a new constitution in 1890, raising barriers to voter registration. Laura Edwards wrote in Democracy Betrayed (2000): What happened in Wilmington became an affirmation of white supremacy not just in that one city, but in the South and in the nation as a whole, as it affirmed that invoking whiteness eclipsed the legal citizenship, individual rights, and equal protection under the law of blacks.It was originally described by white Americans as a race riot caused by blacks. However, over time, with more facts publicized, the event has come to be seen as a coup d'état, the
violent overthrow of a duly elected government. Multiple causes — social, political, and economic — brought it about. It is the only such incident in American history.The coup occurred after the state's white Democratic Party conspired and led a mob of 2,000 white men to overthrow the legitimately-elected local Fusionist government. They expelled opposition black and white political leaders from the city, destroyed the property and businesses of black citizens built up since the Civil War, including the only black newspaper in the city, and killed an estimated 60 to more than 300 people.
