Introduction
This episode contains graphic descriptions of racial violence and may not be suitable for everyone. Imagine it's March, 1869, and you're in a wooden schoolhouse in Abberville, South Carolina. You've been tasked with raising a regiment for a brand new state militia the governor has organized to protect the citizens from Ku Klux Klan violence. The men have formed a neat line ready to put their names down.
