Knights of the Golden Circle: Secret Empire, Southern Secession, Civil War 

byDavid C. Keehn

Keehn’s study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the Knights of the Golden Circle, a secret southern society that initially sought to establish a slave-holding empire in the "Golden Circle" region of Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America. Drawing on archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, the narrative gives Knights of the Golden Circle a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the secret empire, southern secession, civil war becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within history.
