FOOTNOTES:

[1] Cutler, in his "Lynch Law," p. 139, is the first writer outside of
the South who has paid serious attention to this history of Ku Klux

[2] The Constitution and Ritual of the Knights of the White Camelia
have been printed in West Virginia University Documents relating to
Reconstruction, No. 1.

Ku Klux Report, it shows a very clear conception of the real meaning
of the movement and a correct appreciation of its results. The best

of Sicily, the Illuminati, etc. The "Confreries" of Medieval France
were similar illegal societies formed "pour defendre les innocentes et

[11] General Clanton, of Alabama, complained that the Southern people
had passed "out of the hands of warriors into the hands of squaws."
General Edmund W. Pettus, now U.S. Senator from Alabama, said that the
