"When the Ku Klux Rode" by Eyre Damer is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the Reconstruction Era in the United States, specifically focusing on the rise and actions of the Ku Klux Klan as they engaged in violent efforts to establish white supremacy in the post-Civil War South. Through a detailed narrative, the author delves into the socio-political conditions that gave rise to such groups and the conflicts that ensued as various factions struggled for control and influence within the Southern states. The opening of the work sets the stage for an exploration of the deep-seated tensions and complexities of the Reconstruction period. The text begins by recounting the aftermath of the Civil War, as the Southern states, including Alabama, grapple with the changes brought on by the war and the abolition of slavery. It outlines President Johnson's policies aimed at restoring order and re-integrating the southern states into the Union, highlighting the clash between his moderate approach and the radical measures taken by Congress. Attention is given to the establishment of provisional governments in Southern states and hints at the growing unrest that would lead to the formation of secret organizations like the Ku Klux Klan, framing the narrative as both a recounting of events and an analysis of the political landscape of the time.
