English: Title
An Original Klansman Description R. J. Brunson of Pulaski, Tennessee, aged 82. He was part of the original Klan and is wearing an original robe. Historical Note The first Klan was founded in 1865 by veterans of the Confederate Army. Its purpose was to restore white supremacy in the aftermath of the American Civil War. The Klan resisted Reconstruction by intimidating "carpetbaggers", "scalawags" and freedmen. The KKK quickly adopted violent methods. The increase in murders finally resulted in a backlash among Southern elites who viewed the Klan's excesses as an excuse for federal troops to continue occupation. The organization declined from 1868 to 1870. Date 1924 Creator Romine, W. B. (William Bethel), 1861- Place Pulaski (Tenn.) Publisher The Pulaski Citizen Place of Publication Pulaski (Tenn.)
