Smallwood advances the case, along with howell2012, that Klan violence in Texas represented a continuation of the Civil War, a “holocaust fought in a new guise,” noting that in 1868 and 1869 Texas was “the murder capital of the United States” (p. 215). He provides a litany of examples of violence and confirms the rapid proliferation of Klaverns in Texas, but does not address patterns of regional variation noted by bean2012 or spurlin2012, except to note that episodes occurred as far south as Corpus Christi and occurred even in garrisoned towns like Houston. He also frequently references the case of Cullen Baker discussed by richter2012. The focus seems to be on the northeastern counties.
