KKK in Tampa in 1930's And "Freedom Road"

Read a book about the KKK in Florida and it showed that the KKK ruled Tampa during the depression.
Their main acts of violence were against union organizers and others who worked for social security,national health care, and any programs that would actually benefit working class people,even if they were "WHITE".
The book titled, "The Invisible Empire:The Ku Klux Klan in Florida shows that any "white" working class person,who joins the KKK,either hates their own class or is ignorant of the KKK's history. The KKK,like any authoritarian organization sells itself to the ruling class when the money is right.
I can understand wealthy "whites" supporting the KKK as an element to divide working class people. The wealthy also threw some jobs like sheriff to KKK leaders.

I also recently read "Freedom Road" by Howard Fast,a novel about freed slaves,in South Carolina,who struggle to build a new world.
The US Government eventually betrays them as "the idea of free slaves and poor whites working together" is a threat even to Northern Capitalists.
The Capitalists say,"Why would educated people want to work for what we want to pay them?"
A deal between North and South capitalists is worked out,where the South will provide raw materials to Northern capitalists instead of the highest price and the North will let,"Dixie Rise Again" with Confederate Veterans leading the Ku Klux Klan as all Federal Troops are removed from the South.
The novel is based on factual documents and the particular version that I read also had writings by Eric Foner and W.E.Du Bois.
