Read the quotation by annie hill below. she said the ku klux [klan] used to come in by droves. she said the ku klux were all dressed in white—white caps and white hoods over their faces, and long white dresses. they come mostly at night . . sometimes they would take people out and beat them and do ‘round with them. the quotation indicates that ku klux klan raids terrorized and intimidated people. were basically harmless. happened during the day. were led by single individuals.

terrorized and intimidated people.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
