    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Per the National Postal Museum, &quot;Most U.S. postmasters were not issued standard devices for canceling stamps until the 1890s. Prior to that, they were purchased from vendors or homemade. A number of hand-carved KKK-themed cancels were used by the post office at Union Mills, Pennsylvania in 1870. They serve as a reminder that the Klan had adherents in the north as well as the south.&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;The skull and crossbones was one of the earliest symbols adopted by the Klan.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
