American Slave Interviews - Volume II: Arkansas Narratives Parts 5 & 6

American Slave Interviews - Volume II: Arkansas Narratives Parts 5 & 6

Stephen Ashley
0/5 ( ratings)
From Interviews with 235 Former US Slaves.

"Whenever there was a man of influence, they terrorized him. They were at their height about the time of Grant's election. Many a time my mother and I have watched them pass our door. They wore gowns and some kind of helmet. They would be going to catch same leading Negro and whip him. There was scarcely a night they couldn't take a leading Negro out and whip him if they would catch him alone. On that account, the Negro men did not stay at home in Sumter County, South Carolina at night. They left home and stayed together. The Ku Klux very seldom interfered with a woman or a child.
