Question

Read the excerpt below from Only Yesterday, An Informal History of the 1920's, Chapter 3 "The Big Red Scare" section 6 and answer the question. If a white girl reported that a colored man had made improper advances to her – even if the charge were unsupported and based on nothing more than a neurotic imagination – a white-sheeted band might spirit the Negro off to the woods and "teach him a lesson" with tar and feathers or with the whip. If a white man stood up for a Negro in a race quarrel, he might be kidnapped and beaten up. If a colored woman refused to sell her land at an arbitrary price which she considered too low, and a Klansman wanted the land, she might receive the K.K.K. ultimatum – sell or be thrown out. Klan members would boycott Jewish merchants, refuse to hire Catholic boys, refuse to rent their houses to Catholics.
