Episode: Part Two: The Grifters Who Resurrected the KKK
It was described as incredibly dense, with a lot of information consolidated from many different sources. It was highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of American radical right-wing extremism.
I read a book for this episode two, the second coming of the KKK by Linda Gordon. I want to advocate reading both of the books for this podcast because they're both good but Linda Gordon's book is really special. It is almost unbelievably dense.
I rarely in my life encountered so much information from so many different sources and solidated into a single book of this size. I'm just kind of in awe of the amount of work she must have put into it and like how... It's really good.
We're only using fractions of it for this episode, but it is a fantastic book. So I really recommend giving it a read if you're interested in the history of American radical right-wing extremism.
One of the things that is pointed out in the fantastic Linda Gordon book, the second coming of the KKK is that this was not radical at the time.
The ideology of this group is not fringe in any way, shape or form. They are preaching to the choir. They are not radicalizing people and that's critical.

In the conclusion of the second coming to the KKK Linda Gordon makes this note some scholars and contemporary observers have seen the 1920s Northern clan as a failure because it was short-lived and because its campaigns against Catholics and Jews did not manage to confine them to second class citizenship, but transience is common to most social movements moreover the clan declined in part because it had triumphed in several respects state eugenics laws providing for forcible sterilization of those of defective stock spread to 30 states and those labeled defective were typically the poor and people of color the biggest clan victory was immigration restriction and imperial wizard Evans repeatedly claimed credit for its passage.
