In the early 20th century, three things were true about Oklahoma: it had the highest American Indian population in the nation; it was the most socialist state in the country; and (after 1917) it had the highest Ku Klux Klan membership per capita. In the 1920s, the so-called second Klan was a major force throughout the United States, and it was much more catholic in its hatred than its Reconstruction predecessor. In the 46th state, things came to a head in 1922 when socialists elected their candidate for governor, determined to break the Klan’s hold on the state. Will they succeed, or will the racists triumph? |
