Abstract:
Republican politician and lawyer John W. Stephens was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. Stephens served as a Confederate soldier but after the war became an advocate for the newly freed slaves. His allegiance caused the KKK to murder him in the Caswell County courthouse. This incident foreshadowed the Kirk-Holden war, a struggle between KKK and Governor William Holden in 1870 over the KKK's suppression of freed slave voting.
