Organization and Principles of the Ku Klux Klan

I handed out this document in class. Here's Nathan Bedford Forrest, one of the founding members of the Klan (and I taught one of his descendents a few years back!).



This document is essentially a manifesto of the Klan's major principles. Sum up the principles around which the Klan was organized. Does anything stand out to you about this document? How does this information differ from your preconceived notions about the Klan?

Please make sure to interact with your classmates' points, too!
