In the final chapter, Broomall convincingly argues that paramilitary groups appealed to men who hoped to reestablish their accustomed supremacy in a society that had been turned upside down. Initiation into groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, characterized by specific rituals, oath-taking, and performative aspects, provided a sense of mastery over self. While the initiate had no control during the moment he was blindfolded and surrounded by masked men dressed in hideous garb, through the initiation ritual he emerged as a member of a secret society where violence and death were signifiers of an achieved and reasserted masculinity. Therefore, Southern men both literally and figuratively donned public masks that hid the inner turmoil, chaos, confusion, and anxiety that plagued their private emotional worlds.
