Decline 520 $a Relying primarily on a narrative, chronological approach, this study examines Ku Klux Klan activities in Pennsylvania's twenty-eight western-most counties, where the state organization enjoyed greatest numerical strength. The work covers the period between the Klan's initial appearance in the state in 1921 and its virtual disappearance by 1928, particularly the heyday of the Invisible Empire, 1923-1925. This book examines a wide variety of KKK activities, but devotes special attention to the two large and deadly Klan riots in Carnegie and Lilly, as well as vigilantism associated with the intolerant order. Klansmen were drawn from a pool of ordinary Pennsylvanians who were driven, in part, by the search for fraternity, excitement, and civic betterment. However, their actions were also motivated by sinister, darker emotions and purposes. Disdainful of the rule of law, the Klan sought disorder and mayhem in pursuit of a racist, nativist, anti-Catholic, anti-Jewish agenda. 610 20 $a Ku Klux Klan (1915- ) $z Pennsylvania $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Pennsylvania $x Race relations $y 20th century. 610 27 $a Ku Klux Klan (1915- ) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00545624 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a Pennsylvania. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204598 648 7 $a 1900 - 1999 $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20160510012745.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AE6DCFF6167411E6A333BB94DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
