Above are three Videos and one picture.  The picture is linked to an article entitled. Abraham Lincoln’s Attitudes on Slavery and Race
Before you read the Klansman's Manual,  I'd like to have you watch the above film, released in 1915.  It is three hours long, which makes it really impossible to use in class, but perhaps we'll see part of it.

As you read and mark up The Klansman Manual,

The KKK is still alive today, and it has been active following the recent election.  It has a website, the content of which is protected by the First Amendment rights of free speech.  Take a look at it, and Browse through some the sections.  I do not recommend joining.  :-(  Take a look also at this website, and also the store on the site.
