Chapter 3

This chapter focuses on Robert Teel, the perpetrator of the central act of violence in the book and a profile of the racial hatred fomented by the Ku Klux Klan. It also describes the Klan and the strong black opposition that arose against it.

What are some of the factors that shaped Robert Teel into the person he became?

How does Tyson account for the rise and then partial decline of the Klan during this time?

Are there fear and hate mongers in our own time? Who are they? How can they be opposed? How do we distinguish hate mongers from those who simply disagree with us and express themselves strongly?
