What is White Terror The Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy and Southern Reconstruction about?

Allen W. Trelease’s book, White Terror: The Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy and Southern Reconstruction, looks at the terror invoked by the KKK during reconstruction in the south. Chapters twelve and thirteen highlight the events that caused Governor W. W. Holden to issue a state of insurrection in Alamance and Caswell Counties in North Carolina, and the use of the militia under the command of Colonel George Kirk of Jonesboro, Tennessee. In chapter twelve, Trelease highlights the events that precipitated in the said counties prior to Governor Holden’s declaration. White Terror brings to light the ideology of white supremacy that emerged and the political connections it maintained in the local government. Governor Holden was forced to declare a state of insurrection because the very people who had sworn to protect the rights of the people of the said counties were in fact the ones riding at night, terrorizing “Black Republicans” and white sympathizers. What emerged became what the democratic adversaries of Governor Holden and Col. Kirk know as the Kirk-Holden War; which is exactly the title of Chapter Thirteen. In this part of the book, Trelease discusses what ensued in the counties consume
