Tyler and Clarke took Simmons's dying and broken KKK, with its two thousand to three thousand associates in Georgia and Alabama, and in a few short years swelled its membership to nearly five million. Chapters were established in every state of the union, and the Klan began influencing American political and social life. Between one-third and one-half of the eligible men in the country belonged to the organization. Even to modern sensibilities, the extent of Tyler and Clarke's scheme is shocking: the limitlessness of their audacity; the full-scale and ongoing con of Simmons; the size of the personal fortunes they earned, amassed, and stole in the process; and just how easily and expertly they exploited the particular fears and prejudices of every corner of America. You will recognize in this pair a very American sense of showmanship and an accepted, even celebrated, brash entrepreneurial hustle. And as their story winds down, you will recognize the tainted and ultimately ineffectual congressional hearings into the Klan's monumental growth. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Tyler, Elizabeth,|d1881-1924. 600 10 Clarke, Edward Young,|d1877- 610 20 Ku Klux Klan (1915- )|xMembership|xHistory. 650 0 Swindlers and swindling|zUnited States. 650 0 Advertising executives|zUnited States. 650 0 Racism|zUnited States|y20th century. 651 0 United States|xRace relations|y20th century. 700 1 Yen, Jonathan. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13697924?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781705283912_180.jpeg
