The Klan Claims A Scallywag Jump to the AD-FREE Safe House Edition Episode 477 tells the story of Judge George W. Ashburn — Union colonel, scalawag, author of the state's civil rights provisions — who is gunned down by the Ku Klux Klan in their Georgia debut. The killers are caught, tried, and freed through a devil's bargain: their liberty exchanged for ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment.
