Music is licensed through Epidemic Sound - This is the sixth and final episode in a series regarding America's first terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan. Although the trial of D.C. Stephenson stopped the forward momentum of the Klan, it continued to pervert American society in a variety of forms. This episode traces white supremacy, neo-nazism, and the American bund movement before looking at how the Klan operates today in its third (and hopefully final) form.

Music is licensed through Epidemic Sound - This is the fifth in a series of six episodes regarding America's first terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan. Hiram Evans, the tooth puller, made a grave mistake in ceding regional control of his Klan to D.C. Stephenson, a man cloaked in half-lies and full-failures. He would take the Klan to its greatest heights, initiating 1/3rd of all Hoosiers, spinning off into a Women's Klan, and sponsoring 'cutest baby contests.' His depravity would also result in its sudden downfall, as the Pro-protestant 100% American group comes to grips with the idea that the monster lurks among them.

Music is licensed through Epidemic Sound - This is the fourth in a series of six episodes regarding America's first terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan. Following the success of America's first blockbuster, The Birth of a Nation, a failed businessman in Atlanta dusts off the name Ku Klux Klan. His struggles were alleviated, however, by two marketers who believed that they saw an opportunity to make boatloads of money. Their efforts took the Klan to soaring heights, but rather than the first instance of the Klan - this 2.0 version dramatically increased its list of enemies.

Music is licensed through Epidemic Sound - This is the third in a series of six episodes regarding America's first terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan. The 15th amendment's bestowing of the vote on African American men was designed to be the ultimate weapon in the fight for equal rights throughout the South. Freedmen represented a core constituency in the South, one that both parties would have to tailor policies towards in order to have any hope of maintaining power.
At least that was what the artifacts believed would happen. None could fathom what occurred in Wilmington, the site of the only successful electoral coup in American history, one perpetrated by the violence of white supremacists acting on behalf of the Democratic Party.
