Synopsis
Pegram's work results in a comprehensive history of the Ku Klux Klan during the s.
This is a period when the Klan experienced a resurgence of popularity. According to Pegram, the Klan's power to attract was based on its capabilities of speaking to the fears and anxieties of white Protestant Americans during a time of rapid social and cultural change, including the rise of pluralism, after World War I.
The Klan's focus on white supremacy, nativism, white nationalism and traditional values resonated with many Americans who experienced duress, perceiving that their way of life was in peril.[1][3]
William Vance Trollinger writing for The Journal of American History says:[2]
"While the first Klan focused its hatred on the newly freed slaves and their Republican supporters, the second Klan offered white Protestant Americans an expanded list of social scapegoats including Catholics, Jews, and immigrants.
While the original KKK was confined to the South, the new version was truly national, with perhaps 4 million members at its peak. For a few years from coast to coast America was ablaze with crosses."
Hence, the book traces the Klan's rise to prominence, its decline, and the values and beliefs handed to succeeding generations.

He also discusses the Klan's impact on American society during the s and during the years afterwards, until our present day.[1][2]
Reception
The scholarly reviews seem to be mixed.
Trollinger, writing for The Journal of American History says that viewing the s KKK and its 4 million members as outside of the mainstream, as Pegram concludes, is flawed. "Racial and religious bigotry and hatred of 'the other' are significant (albeit unhappy) features of the U.S. story," with or without the Klan.[2]
Rebecca Barret-Fox reviewing this book for the Journal of Hate Studies says: "If [Pegram's] argument fails to make a provocative claim of its own, readers nonetheless owe him a debt of gratitude for his ability to synthesize the many narrower studies of the s Klan into a general history that will interest scholars, activists, and general readers."[1]
