Synopsis
Strange as it seems, the Ku Klux Klan was once a power to contend with in Vermont. Its white-robed members, numbering into the thousands, defiantly lighted up the night skies with flaming crosses. It whipped up controversy, instilled fear, and espoused ideas foreign to the state's inherent attitudes of tolerance, playing upon patriotism and morality to foster prejudice and hatred. This is the story of Vermont's role in the great wave of klanism that swept the country in the 1920's. How the movement began, how it grew and prospered, and how a foolish act of vandalism and an attempted cover-up finally signaled its decline and eventual demise are here recorded.
