Klu Klux Klan

The Klu Klux Klan is an organization of white supremicy group of men and who believe they should kill dark skin men, women, and children because they think that the dark skin people will soon take over America. The Klu Klux Klan burn crosses as a ritual and to intimidate others they also claim that they are a christian group but many people don’t believe that because of their cross burning does not look christian.They are also anti communist, meaning they cannot keep any profits, everything belonged to the government. The first Klan was discovered in the 1860s and was pretty much ostracized in the early 1870s. The second Klan came to be nationwide in the 1920s, using the same material that the first Klan did, except this time they introduced cross burnings. The third Klan emerged after World War 2, and they went against the Civil Rights Movement and progress among minorities. The first and third Klans have well-established records showing that they were well involved in terrorism and political violence. To protect their identity, they used white costumes consisting of conical hats, masks, and robes.The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, and they named it after the greek work kuklos, meaning the "Circle of Brothers", and they consisted of 550,000 members. The second Klan was founded in 1915 in Georgia, and consisted of 3,000,000 - 6,000,000 members. The third Klan was founded in 1946. The KKK was first founded in 1865. The KKK formed to react to society because they feared that the blacks were going to rise in a white nation. They still exists today ( not since the first Klan ) : people out there are extremely dangerous, and many are still not against segregation.
