21 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.

22 KKK, Henry McNeal Turner, & Black Legislators Henry McNeal Turner, a minister from Macon, became the first African American chaplain in the U.S. Army. Pg.5 Cont. 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.

36 ...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...
