Degman c g (1 risultati)

A disjointed compilation of essays, poems and prayers beginning with the titular essay describing a program to send all Negroes and mongrels to African colonies in order to keep the white race pure. In this essay, Degman maintains that enslaved African Americans were the descendants of Israelites who "Satan was permitted to lead astray.into the African jungles to become wild Negro cannibals" (p. 12). Other topics include the threat of Roman Catholicism, the need to restructure the Ku Klux Klan (of which the author was a member for eight years), ending Prohibition, America's failing economy under FDR, Kentucky mountain feuds, and many other unrelated subjects. The book concludes with poems, pithy sayings, and prayers, all seemingly written by the author. Degman references James Deson Sayers' book, Can the White Race Survive? numerous times, which was published in Washington, D. C. in 1929 where Degman lived at the time.

He then moved to Winchester, Viriginia followed by Muskogee, Oklahoma before serving in WWI as an ambulance driver. He relocated to Washington, D. C. in 1919, became an auditor in the General Accounting Office and served as vice president and historian of the Southeast Citizens' Association and chairman of the Public Utilities Commission.
