Abstract

Lynching and Klan events in Indiana counties, 1858-1930, indicate how broadly similar interests and organizations can yield sharply divergent temporal and spatial patterns of collective action. Repertoire is the key to understanding these findings. Lynching is old school, largely confined to rural, Southern Indiana, but the 1920s Klan was a thoroughly modern, urban social movement. Maps and Zero Inflated Negative Binomial Estimation (Zinbe) models support this assertion
