520			_a"The Ku Klux Klan" by Annie Cooper Burton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the origins and activities of the Ku Klux Klan, a Southern organization that emerged after the Civil War during a time of significant disorder in the South. It provides an interpretation of the Klan's purpose, emphasizing its role in restoring order post-war and framing its actions within a context of regional pride and defense. Burton outlines the formation of the Klan in 1866, initially as a social club that transitioned into a group focused on controlling the behavior of freed African Americans and other perceived threats. Key figures, such as Nathan Bedford Forrest, who became its Grand Wizard, are highlighted for their leadership and vision. The book details various tactics the Klan employed to instill fear without shedding blood, combining a sense of humor and a serious intent to create a sense of order. Burton's work ultimately seeks to reshape the public's perception of the Klan by portraying it as a noble order that played a critical role in Southern society during its time, while it also provides insight into the rituals and organizational structure of the group, including the oaths and duties of its members.
