Book excerpt: "When laws become lawless contrivances to defeat the ends of justice, it is not surprising that the people resort to lawless expedients for securing their rights."--S.S. Cox, in "Three Decades," p. 558. "A remarkable contribution to United States history by the Rev. D. L. Wilson, of Pulaski, Tenn., who vouches for his facts, most of which are new to the public, and will prove a revelation to many who consider themselves well-informed on all the outgrowths of the late conflict in the South." -The California Teacher and Home Journal "The book is undoubtedly one of great interest." -The New York Times "The main portion of the book is a reprint of an account of the origin and growth of this great order of Reconstruction days....Mr. Walter L. Fleming has contributed an introduction giving side-light information on the Klan and kindred organizations. There are appendices containing the constitution and specimens of orders and warnings issues by the Klan." -American Historical Review "With a valuable introduction and useful notes by Walter L. Fleming, professor in West Virginia University, and author of a very valuable study of 'Reconstruction in Alabama.' The book on its first appearance did not attract the attention it deserved, though it was written dispassionately and erred, if at all, rather in minimizing the services of this organization to social order than the misdeeds committed in its name. Professor Fleming's introduction serves to correct the general impression that a reading of the earlier work at this time might produce, and in view of the grotesque misstatements of some current books of reference on this subject, the republication may be considered timely." -The Churchman "This is undoubtedly the most important volume on this subject yet produced." -St. Paul Press CONTENTS INTRODUCTION.

Book excerpt: The KKK's early history from its formation to its first disbandment is revealed with astonishing detail - writing in 1905, the author includes eyewitness accounts from those alive at the time. Following the American Civil War, the emancipation of black Americans occurred - the peoples formerly owned by plantation owners and farmers were accorded freedom, citizenship and rights as citizens of the United States. However, a significant segment of the population were unhappy with the emancipation of the enslaved - a desire for white domination led many, particularly in the Deep South, to perpetrate violence, mischief and murder. In the southern states, six former officers of the Confederate States of America formed the Ku Klux Klan. Intentionally shrouding the initiation ceremonies, doctrines and customs in mystery, the group was formed to amuse its members and attract public curiosity. Only later, as the group gained in membership and perpetrated violent and murderous acts, did their white hoods and rituals acquire notoriety and become synonymous with white supremacy and menace against the black minority. This book details the formation and progress of the 1st Klan, which operated between the years 1865 and 1871. Authored in 1905, it benefits from eyewitness accounts; at the time, the KKK's first appearance was within living memory, thought a curious event firmly confined to the past. However, a decade after Fleming published this book the KKK was revived, becoming far larger than before. Although overshadowed by later events, histories such as Fleming's shed light on an era of upheaval. Backlash against emancipation was anticipated, and the KKK was not the only extra-judicial group of its kind; although such organizations successfully intimidated many blacks into departing politics, laws and crackdowns by the government contained the organization, albeit temporarily.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ku Klux Klan: Its Origin, Growth and Disbandment Assistance was given to me While searching for information in regard to Ku Klux Klan, by many former members of the order, and by their friends and relatives.

Ewing, of Pulaski, Tennessee; Miss Cora R. Jones, of Bir mingham, Alabama, niece of one of the founders of the Klan; Mr. Lacy H. Wilson, of Bristol, Tennessee, the son of one of the authors of the History printed within, Major S. A. Cunningham and Mr. A. V. Goodpasture, of Nashville, and Dr. John A. Wyeth, of New York City. There is still much that is obscure about Ku Klux Klan and I shall be glad to oh tain additional information in regard to the order, and also to receive notice of mistakes and errors in this account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hundred years have passed since the masterpiece of David Wark Griffith, The Birth of a Nation, first appeared on the screens of America, in the winter of 1915. It demonstrated that the cinema, no less than literature and no less than the stage, could become a topic of serious critical, esthetic, intellectual, political, social, and technical discussion. In this way it brought the motion picture into a position of commanding influence in the social life of the American nation. The denunciation continues, and the storm over the film serves as a barometer of the global conflict, involving forces and issues set in motion by, but no means limited to, race. As Griffith's official biographer, Seymour Stern's main purpose of his book was to assemble, as extensively as possible, the rapidly vanishing record of what happened.
