The Knights were one of the countryвЂ™s more successful вЂњSouthern Rights ClubsвЂќ which agitated for more political power for the South. However, new evidence has recently surfaced which points directly to a secret Confederate society known as the Knights of the Golden Circle (K.G.C.) as the source of the immense treasure, worth more than $10 million dollars in todayвЂ™s economy.
