Atlanta Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy pamphlet with ad by the Ku Klux Klan

The Ku Klux Klan ad shown below appears in a pamphlet by the Atlanta Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It is an ad by the early 20th century Ku Klux Klan founded by William Joseph Simmons. The ad is a pack of lies. The KKK of the early 20th century was violent and lawless.  It is not surprising that the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) would accept such an ad in a pamphlet devoted to their history. The UDC was very enthusiastic about the Reconstruction KKK.
