| Summary | "The Oaths, Signs, Ceremonies and Objects of the Ku-Klux-Klan" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the late 1860s. This revealing text details the initiation rituals, oaths, and operational structures of the Ku-Klux Klan, an organization that emerged in the aftermath of the American Civil War. It aims to expose the secretive nature and violent intentions of the Klan, offering a vivid portrayal of their clandestine operations and the mindset of its members. The book recounts the initiation experience of a new member, outlining the harrowing oaths sworn to avenge perceived injustices against the South and to uphold a violent code of secrecy. The narrative involves various rituals, including the use of ominous symbols and the notorious "consecrating drink," which is demonstrated dramatically through the use of a human skull as a drinking vessel. Emphasizing the Klan's emphasis on loyalty and vengeance, the author reveals that refusal to participate in these rituals or to uphold the Klan's violent ethos often results in death. Ultimately, this exposé aims to forewarn the public about the resurgence of such violent ideologies and the potential for further societal turmoil in the post-Civil War United States.
