From reading testimonies, my understanding is that the Ribbonmen were mostly small farmers meeting in public bars, trying to stop themselves from being evicted by the landlords who kept raising their rents. I don't doubt there were land feuds, threatening letters and killings, but they weren't really an organised gang.
