Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines Ku Klux Klan chapters groups, collectively known as Dens, and the broader secret orders that connected members in the American South after the Civil War. The author investigates the origins and aims of the Klan as a regulator of communities, particularly its influence over African-Americans and white Unionists. The book explores the Klan's transformation from a loose network of local self-defense groups into a centralized, hierarchical organization and discusses the complex and often contradictory goals of the Klan. The author analyzes the evolution of the Klan's strategy, its methods of enforcement, and its relationship with white southern society. The study concludes by situating the Klan's actions within the broader historical context of racial inequality and political and social change in the post-Civil War United States.
