Description:61 Citizens Terrorized by KuKlux in and near Alamance Coiunty, North Carolina, 1868-1870 Perfect Paperback – January 1, 2022by A Citize of Alamance (Author)Not easy book to read. Nothing so awful, sometimes, as the unvarnished Contents is taken from verbatim testimony by victims, both Black and White, of vigilante violence in one county in central North Carolina during the worst days of Reconstruction. Also included are questions and statements from prosecution, defense, and judge--all from the impeachment trial of North Carolina Governor William Holden in 1871. Because the testimony is taken directly from court transcripts, it includes archaic diction and spelling as well as reactions from those in attendance at the trial, often laughter at the expense of those testifying, and occasionally as stage directions, as when one witness complies to the prosecution’s suggestion that he put on a full Kuklux disguise. There’s no indication that he ever takes it off during his testimony. Holden was impeached, convicted, and removed from office for having called militia into action to protect those being terrorized throughout the region. Although most were known, the perpetrators were never prosecuted and ultimately were given immuity for all of their actions. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our eBay Store!!
