White Terror is an important revisionist contribution to Reconstruction historiography--well-researched, well-organized, well-written. --Civil War History Professor Trelease's pages stand as a monument to the heroic minority, those freedmen and white Republicans who resisted the seemingly endless Democratic terror and who often paid for their determination with their lives. --Journal of American History This splendid study has stripped the Klan of the heroic imagery . . . and has revealed it for what it really was: a vicious organization manned by white Southerners of all classes, who hated, bullied, tortured, murdered, and betrayed, apparently without shame or remorse. --Journal of Southern History
