Ku Klux Klan Secrets Exposed Attitude toward Jews, Catholics, Foreigners and Masons. Fraudulent Methods Used. Atrocities Committed in Name of Order.

"Ku Klux Klan Secrets Exposed" by Ezra A. Cook is a historical exploration of the Ku Klux Klan in the early 1900s. The book looks at the beginnings, actions, and beliefs of the Klan, drawing a line between its first appearance after the Civil War and its comeback in the 20th century. It shows the Klan's feelings about different communities like Jewish people, Catholics, immigrants, and Black people, explaining the group's techniques and the terrible acts its members are known for. The story starts by pointing out the big differences between the old and new Klan, showing how the first group started as a fun club for young people in the South, but then turned into something much darker, with the goal of keeping things unequal and using fear to control others. The author stresses the Klan's change from a simple after war amusement into a group ready for action, motivated by money and full of unfair opinions and violence. In doing so, Cook helps us understand the group's reasons, like unhappiness in society during rebuilding, which gets us ready to learn about the Klan's many beliefs and the effects they had on America.
