| Summary | "Ku Klux Klan Secrets Exposed" by Ezra A. Cook is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book aims to unravel the origins, operations, and ideologies of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), specifically differentiating between the original group formed post-Civil War and the revival of the Klan in the 20th century. Cook explores the Klan's attitudes toward various social groups, including Jews, Catholics, foreigners, and African Americans, while detailing the methods employed by its members and the atrocities committed under its banner. The opening of the text establishes a clear contrast between the old and new Ku Klux Klan, explaining how the original group emerged as a lighthearted secret society among Southern youths before evolving into a more sinister entity that focused on maintaining racial hierarchy and implementing intimidation. The author emphasizes the Klan's transformation from a phenomenon of post-war social amusement into a militarized organization fueled by economic motives, rife with prejudice and violence. Cook provides context for understanding the Klan's motivations, such as societal discontent during Reconstruction, thereby setting the stage for investigating the order’s numerous ideologies and its consequences on American society.
