The time of Reconstruction for the South was
wrought with many conflicting factors, which

following the war, and the attempt to redesign the
entire social structure of the South slowly but
assuredly destroyed the plan of Reconstruction.
Although the original design of the plan seem
plausible, as things progressed, it became more
and more evident that the pro...

changes, whether they like it or not, tend to
become shrunken relics of their original selves.
They become mummified images of a once living
creation. Such an organization is the Ku Klux
