In the shadows of American history burns a truth many dare not confront-a truth cloaked in white hoods, echoing through fiery crosses and whispered threats. The Brotherhood of Hate: The Klan's War on Freedom is a searing journey into the origins, evolution, and unrelenting legacy of the Ku Klux Klan. From its birth in the smoldering ruins of the Confederacy to its modern rebranding in the digital age, this book unveils a chilling chronicle of how racism can be ritualized, normalized, and made into law.
Through courtroom betrayals, backwoods executions, and political alliances veiled in moral virtue, the Klan did not merely terrify-it governed. It wrapped itself in patriotism while desecrating democracy, invoking God while lynching the innocent. It infiltrated pulpits, statehouses, and school boards, embedding hate into the very DNA of the nation's institutions.
This is not just a story of murder and mobs. It is a story of silence, complicity, and the high price of forgetting. With powerful prose and unflinching research, this book traces the arc of hate from Pulaski to Charlottesville, revealing how white supremacy adapts, survives, and thrives.
But woven into this darkness are the sparks of resistance-ordinary people who refused to cower, voices that pierced the hooded veil, and a justice system slowly roused from slumber.
This is a call to remember. A call to witness. A call to never let the torch of terror burn unchallenged again.
The Brotherhood of Hate is not just history. It is a warning.
