The Order of the White Camelia was formed during the reconstruction period in Louisiana. It was not the Ku Klux Klan, as that organization was founded in Tennesee. The Camelia was far more brutal than the Ku Klux Klan and in large part helped bring the reconstruction era to a close after the Colfax riot in Louisiana. A good book referencing the White Camelia is Ted Tunnel's "The Crucible of Reconstruction".
