Shoffner Act
The Shoffner Act was intended to restore order in North Carolina counties where Ku Klux Klan (KKK) violence raged. Introduced by Alamance County Republican senator T. M. Shoffner, the act, which was passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1870, empowered the governor to suspend habeas corpus and use the state militia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/nchist-civilwar/4810 )〕
Governor William W. Holden invoked the act in Alamance and Caswell counties.〔Web: Indiana, Find A Grave Index, 1800-2012〕
Popular support for the KKK ignited the Kirk-Holden War that saw Holden impeached.〔NCpedia article by Allen W Trelease, 2006, http://ncpedia.org/shoffner-act〕 Senator Shoffner was burned in effigy in several counties,〔T. M. Shoffner obituary, 28 Apr 1910, The Republican, Danville, Indiana〕 and the KKK unsuccessfully tried several times to kill him.〔The History of Hendricks County (Chicago: Interstate Publishing, 1885)--Middle Township, pages 712-713〕 To escape public sentiment, he and his family fled to Hendricks County, Indiana.〔Martin Shofner 1758-1838 of Orange NC and Bedford TN- his life, family and ancestry, by Susie Helme〕
