A thoroughly-documented, chilling history of one of the world’s most recognizable extremist groups, this is the true story of terrorism in America.
“Boys, let us get up a club.” With these chilling words, six restless young men raided the linens at a friend’s mansion, pulled pillowcases over their heads, hopped on horses, and cavorted through the streets of Pulaski, Tennessee. They called their new club the Ku Klux Klan, and it quickly grew into the self-proclaimed Invisible Empire, with secret dens spreading across the South.
Award-winning author Susan Campbell Bartoletti weaves together vivid personal accounts from oral histories, congressional documents, and diaries in this enlightening, surprising, and disquieting story, which has received a slew of starred reviews from Kirkus, Publisher’s Weekly, Booklist, and other esteemed publications. Her extensive research places the length of the Klan’s history into a larger context that sheds new light on the roots of hate groups.
When you purchase They Called Themselves the KKK, you’ll get exclusive bonus audio from a conversation with the author and Audie Award-winning narrator Dion Graham.

The beginning of the book:Boys, let us get up a club. With those words, six restless young men raided the linens at a friend’s mansion, pulled pillowcases over their heads, hopped on horses, and cavorted through the streets of Pulaski, Tennessee. The six friends named their club the Ku Klux Klan, and, all too quickly, their club grew into the self-proclaimed Invisible Empire with secret dens spread across the South.This is the story of how a secret terrorist group took root in America’s democracy. Filled with chilling and vivid personal accounts unearthed from oral histories, congressional documents, and diaries, it is a book to read and remember.The Ku Klux Klan arose after the Civil War and quickly became a terrorist organization spreading fear and hatred throughout the United States. This book traces the entire history of the KKK from its beginning as a "social club" to the modern day. Details about the founders and other members are given. Raids are described in enough detail to give the reader chills while imagining what it would be like to live through the terror. The book is well-researched and presents a number of people giving personal accounts about the impact of the KKK on their lives. I thought the book was well done.They Called Themselves th KKK

I have to applaud the author for keeping everything RAW. Refreshing to read something of truth, that did not have more of the writer’s words vs the truth.
As I listened to the happenings I found myself shocked in some situations. As someone white I knew the history Pretty much & not from what the schools taught. Having a black woman who has been like a mom to me for over 34+ years, take me on a journey of life in her growing up years. I must add she actually is Milano, which added a whole other set of issues. Everything for her @ birth, she was born in Germany to a white woman. They hid in a hole until they could sneak her out, without her mother. As an infant somehow she ended up in south Carolina with her biological father. (Never saw her mother again)
Because of her I also spent a great and treasured time with the black community whom most were very welcoming, but there were a few who held the grudges of the past, that were not! But I’m glad to say that turned around. The thing that shocked me the most was the type of involvement that the left was involved.. I am not trying to make this a political thing by any means, but it made me look at today and do some serious thinking.
This is definitely a book that all should read.
Great book...narration not so much (IMO)
