Ku Klux Klan.


The Ku Klux Klan was and is an extremist right-wing secret society in the United States. The Ku Klux Klan was originally founded in the southern states after the civil war to oppose social change and black emancipation by violence and terrorism. Although disbanded twice, it reemerged in the 1950s and 1960s and continues at a local level. Members disguise themselves in white robes and hoods, and often use a burning cross as a symbol of their organization. This symbol was a symbol of fear and it was greatly looked at the symbol of racism and destruction. This clan tried to convince there audience and people by performing acts of violence.
