These groups, the Klan believed, were not becoming assimilated into an American way of life because of poor schooling or the role of church-dominated institutions.

And there he found his voice. Not being a politician, he had nothing to lose with his little pamphlet. Although he made them sound like just "common sense," his arguments for independence were extremely radical at the time.
