1 小时 10 分钟We have come.
We are here.
Beware.
Take heed.
When the black cat is gliding under the shadows of darkness,
and the death watch ticks at the lone hour of night, then we, the pale riders, are abroad.
Speak in whispers, and we hear you.
Dream as you sleep in the inmost recesses of your house.
And hovering over your beds, we gather your sleeping thoughts while our daggers are at your throat.
Ravisher of liberties of the people for whom we died and yet live, be gone ere it is too late.
Unholy blacks, cursed of God, take warning and fly.
Twice has the sacred serpent hissed.
When again his voice is heard, your doom is sealed.
Beware.
Take heed.
To be executed by a white death and rattling skeleton.
At ten tonight.
K. K. K. So that was a chilling warning sent to the Sheriff of Jackson County,
Arkansas, as reported in the Little Rock Morning Republican on the 13th of May, 1868.
And those three letters KKK stand, of course, for the Ku Klux Klan.
