About this ebook
The novel describes the social, political, and economic disintegration that plagued the South during Reconstruction, depicting the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and the reactions of two families to racial conflict. It was written as a message to Northerners to maintain racial segregation, as the work claimed that blacks when free would turn savage and violent, committing crimes such as murder, rape and robbery far out of proportion to their percentage of the population. The enemy in The Clansman is not the freed slaves, but the Republican led Reconstruction movement which the Ku Klux Klan is founded against.
