... to a bigger group. The Klan adopted a prescript. This was an organizational structure permitting the Klan to spread across the south. New members had to be over 18, pay $1, sworn to secrecy, recruits pledged to "protect the weak, the innocent, and the defenseless, from the indignities, wrongs, and outrages of the lawless, the violent, and the brutal."

Quickly Hitler changes from a low soft voice to a almost yelling, as he points and waves his fists. Putting his hands to his heart when talking of his nation and its accomplishments to quickly being thrust from behind his back to above his shoulders in a wave motion halting immediately as his voice booms.
