In this episode of the William Branham Historical Research Podcast, John and Charles discuss some Indiana history that is critical to understanding both William Branham and the formation of what would later become his "Message" cult of personality.

WARNING: some of the subject matter may be disturbing and is not suitable for children.

We discuss:
* Formation of the "white caps" in Indiana and their vigilante style of justice
* The anti-Catholic agenda was the primary mission of the Indiana Klan, as compared to the discrimination and injustice of African Americans in other sects.
* The rise and fall of D. C. Stephenson and his stronghold on the Indiana government
* The Klan's "cleanup" of Jeffersonville coincides with William Branham's "hunting accident"
* Roy E. Davis, William Branham's mentor, was on Stephenson's side of the Klan split
* The opportunity seized by Davis when D. C. Stephenson was convicted
* Stephenson naming names in the Klan, Branham's sudden travels
* The actual timeline of Branham's early years as a minister, as compared to the timeline Branham used for his stage persona.
