Summary Of ' Kill A Mockingbird ' By Harper Lee

Perhaps the most famous terrorist organization in the history of America, the Ku Klux Klan, better known as the “KKK”, was originated in 1866 by a group of six confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee. Although the Klan “had no malicious intentions” according to (Eyewitness to History). As we all know, that fact quickly changed. Throughout the next few years, this group spread to all southern states. It is followers included mayors, judges, police officers, and even convicted felons. This group of people began killing black people, black politicians, and white people who sided with the blacks. They were famous for burning large crosses in the homes and neighborhoods of blacks, and setting fire to churches in which they knew a large amount of blacks attended their masses each

The Ku Klux Klan is a local conceived American bigot terrorist association that exterminated Republican Reconstruction governments in the South after the Civil War. The organization’s goal was also exclude Black people from legislative issues. Participation became gradually amid World War I, yet after 1920, filled by after war despair and smart dignifying approaches, the Klan expanded rapidly. It resuscitated in the 1920s as a social dormitory and quickly transformed the political force of the nation.

The Ku Klux Klan that emerged in the early 1920’s was a structured, well organized group. Members ranged from individuals such as supreme court justices, church ministers, to average American citizens. The organization was promoted heavily and had anywhere from one to five million klansman at its’ peak. The KKK was not quiet about their motives and intentions, they openly believed in and promoted white supremacy. The most interesting aspect of the 1920’s klan was that such average American citizens were willing to become involved in such an extreme group.

One of the logical response of Americans toward the coming of immigrants is making a group named KKK. The KKK was a pro nativist group created by the Anglo-Saxons to oppose the diversity of cultures coming from the non-native (Kennedy, Cohen and Bailey, 2012). Although this group existed way back around 1850s, it started to make its appearance again during the “roaring 20s” (Kennedy, Cohen and Bailey, 2012). The KKK played an important role in shaping the American culture, because it made some Americans to be racist toward people that come from different racial background. Not stating that all white Americans are racist, but stating that racism still do exist in America and it’s because of nativism (Salis, 2015). The character and KKK related

It has almost disappeared in the United States Ku Klux Klan, the "comeback" of the situation. US human rights organization Anti-Defamation League said that not only the old Ku Klux Klan organization re-start activity, but many places and set up a new organization. The report also pointed out that the Ku Klux Klan in the past year, the use of leaflets public meetings, in particular the use of the Internet to incite racial discrimination, particularly agitation against immigrant sentiment.

"With the great depression of the 1930s, contribution paying participation of the Klan shrank to nothing." (Encyclopedia) Its breakdown from that point was to a great extent because of state laws that forbid masks and, veils and disposed of the mystery component, to the bad publicity. "The association got through its hooligans and swindlers, and obviously from the declining enthusiasm of the individuals." (Reference 2) The Civil rights development of the 1960s saw a surge of neighborhood Klan activity over the South, including the bombings, beatings and shootings of high contrast activists. These exercises, finished in mystery however apparently the work of close nearby Klansmen, insulted the nation and won winning backing for the social equality cause. "In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson conveyed a discourse openly pronouncing the catch of four Klansmen in regards to the crime of a white female social freedoms worker in Alabama."(Viola Gregg Liuzzo) The instances of Klan-related violence turned out to be more isolated in the decades to come, however divided gatherings got to be adjusted to neo-Nazi or other conservative fanatic associations from the 1970s forward. In the mid 1990s, the Klan was evaluated to have some place around 6,000 and 10,000 dynamic individuals, generally in the Profound South. Indeed, even right up til the present time there are members

One must feel lucky to be born in the United States during this time period. Before the 1990’s, there were a lot going on, from the Revolutionary War to the Vietnam War. None of these would have happened, if either side were not rebellious. However, one incident, which changed the topic of discrimination in America, was the Ku Klux Klan’s activities which ranged from kidnapping to lynching. Despite the fact that Ku Klux Klan was founded by Christians, the same organization ironically targeted Christians of another sect, though their primary focus, was on African-Americans. Since the late 19th century, the Ku Klux Klan had represented the most dreadful examples of inhumanity. From kidnapping to lynching, the Ku Klux Klan had exacerbated the society due to their racism towards African-Americans.

Nevertheless, we also learn of the Klan’s downfall due to the exposition of the information known only to the Klan members: “Brown divulged what he was learning at the weekly Klan meetings: the identities of the Klan’s local and regional leaders; their upcoming plans; the Klan’s current rituals, passwords, and language.” Therefore, because the Klan’s secrecy was decimated, its lure dwindled and the fear it exerted over the oppressed virtually disappeared. The Ku Klux Klan is a perfect example of how one can manipulate information to his benefit or the benefit of others. Additionally,we learn through the real-estate agents example that they have their own agendas when selling

The history of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is more than half as old as the United States of America itself, and the impact that the terrorist organization has had on American culture still resonates with many people today. There were times when prominent figures of many states were members of the KKK; they worked with the interests of the KKK at heart. “The organization also used violence against minority groups and immigrants to intimidate those sectors of the American population and their supporters as well, in order maintain “white supremacy”.” The KKK specialized in the use of propaganda through scare tactics and the media. However, the organization also exuded a twisted sense of moral righteousness in order to garner public support. The KKK

Cults obtain very anti-semitic perceptions that marginalize minority groups to ultimately advocate the supremacy of the white culture. A globally familiar xenophobic organization, “Ku Klux Klan,” is notorious for their history of brutalities committed due to cultural intolerance. The secret societies express their animosity due to obscure ideologies and sufficient ignorance. To begin, the Ku Klux Klan acquires a victimizing political belief system that states in which minorities are a mass threat to society. The organization’s core philosophical conclusion is that White America is threatened by “racial impurities.” The KKK creates an ignorant theory that the government supports and defends minorities, therefore the racists victimize

With the outbreak of World War I and the constant fear of a communist revolution, the Klan was reestablished and brought back into power in 1915, this time targeting more than African Americans. The Klan now fought against African-Americans, foreigners, Jews, socialists, Roman Catholics, and communists, with its main opponent being the NAACP. “All hyphenated groups - whether they be Negro-Americans, Jewish-Americans, Catholic-Americans, Italian-Americans or whatever must become American-Americans, or leave the country! The Ku Klux Klan is an American-American organization. As the Army of the Klan we Klavaliers are dedicated to saving America for Americans!”3

The infamous Christian-extremist group is well known for their dangerous tactics towards non-white and other religious groups; such as African Americans, Catholics, Jews, and other minorities they don't favor. The clan originated in the deep south of Pulaski, Tennessee after the post-Civil War and formed a secretive group to restore white supremacy in southern states. The only behavior the Ku Klux Klan expresses is nothing but ignorance and hatred. Furthermore, this cult recruits member by telling them to join to save America as an excuse from the increase population of minorities and immigrants entering the country. In fact, they use Christianity as an advantage also. However they see themselves as not a malevolent but a generous group to

Extreme deviance is behavior, beliefs, or physical traits that are serious enough to cast violators outside of the conventional society. The Klu Klux Klan is one of the most well-known deviant white supremacy groups throughout the world. The Klan promoted their white supremacy ideas by participating in violent acts of lynching and burning crosses. They retreated into macho KKK attacks, scourging the homes and churches with their destruction, trying to browbeat the blacks into submission with violent outbursts and threats. However, the K.K.K.’s main goal was to weaken the reconstruction governments and retain power for the southerners who had been in confederacy.

Various inhabitants of the US have a sense of nationalism and American pride within their souls and hearts. However, in a particular case of US history, this very pride lead to a radical nationalist organization that was able to recruit a phenomenal 5,000,000 members, lynch thousands of innocent minorities, break national news, dominate the American legislature, break fear into millions of individuals, and ultimately still exist today. This group is identified as none other but the infamous Ku Klux Klan. A ruthless and widespread organization in the United States that successfully illuminated itself as being 100% American in the late 19th century and to date. In an illustration, the reason for the KKK’s dominance in the turning points of America

Most people, when hearing the title Ku Klux Klan, think of White Moderates in robes attacking the homes of minorities in the 1860s. But, when journalist Stephen J. Dubner and economist Steven Levitt hear Ku Klux Klan, they recall the resemblances of the terrorist group to Real-Estate agents. These two companies make the most unlikely comparisons to one another. Both groups use the select transfer of information, fear to scare people, and discriminate people not included in their “circles.”
