Kelly J Baker returns to the show. This time we discuss her book Gospel According to the Klan: The KKK's Appeal to Protestant America, 1915 to 1930" We examine the origins, history and the worldview of the version of the Ku Klux Klan that rose to the it's height of popularity in the 1920s. We look at how the KKK wasn't an outlier of Protestant America but was instead trying to appeal to American Protestants. We also look at how some of the 1920s Klan's beliefs have filtered down to today and some of the wider consequences.
