KKK, Henry McNeal Turner, & Black Legislators
Pg.5
• The Ku Klux Klan began as a fraternity for ex-soldiers, but
quickly became a terrorist group.
• The KKK used the threat of violence, violence, intimidation,
etc... to prevent Freedmen from exercising their civil rights and
from participating in government and sometimes from access
to economic and educational opportunities.
• KKK violence caused Georgia to be placed under military rule
in 1869 (Georgia Act)
• Force Acts of 1870 and 1871
• Allowed the army to arrest Klan members and hold them
without a trial.
KKK, Henry McNeal Turner, & Black Legislators
Pg.5
Cont.
• Henry McNeal Turner, a minister from Macon, became the first
African American chaplain in the U.S. Army.
• Turner served as a delegate to the 1867 constitutional convention
and later the legislature.
• Black leaders felt betrayed in 1868 when Georgia’s white
legislators (Democrats and some Republicans) removed African
American legislators from Georgia’s General Assembly.
• The black leaders were removed on grounds that the right to vote
guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment did not give African
Americans the right to hold office.
• The expelled legislators founded the Civil and Political Rights
Association and traveled to Washington to plead their case with
members of the U.S. Congress.

The Redemption Directions: The Redemption period followed Reconstruction. It was a time when

Pg.7
• “...Grady visited northern cities and spoke frequently about
the “New South.” In one of his most famous speeches, he
spoke about the need for industry in Georgia:
• I attended a funeral in a Georgia county. It was a poor one
gallused fellow. They buried him in the midst of a marble
quarry; they cut through solid marble to make his grave;
yet the little tombstone they put above him was from
Vermont. They buried him in the midst of a pine forest, but
his pine coffin was imported from Cincinnati. They buried
him within touch of an iron mine, but the nails in his coffin
and the iron in the shovel that dug his grave were from
Pittsburgh. They buried him near the best sheep-grazing
country in the world, yet the wool in the coffin bands was
brought from the North. They buried him in a New York
coat, a Boston pair of shoes, a pair of breeches from
Chicago, and a shirt from Cincinnati. Georgia furnished
only the corpse and a hole in the ground...”
