The Fight Against Hate

Since the Ku Klux Klan, also known as the KKK started several violent scenarios have occured . The KKK was started by a group of confederate war veterans, who felt that black Americans didn't matter. The KKK was a group of anti federalists that was very violent toward black people. The KKK were founded in 1866, in the state of Tennessee. By 1920, the KKK killed over 4 million people nationwide. By the year of 1870, the KKK was spread into almost every southern state in the U.S. Mostly targeting black legislative leaders. Nearly 4000 black women and children were lynched during the civil rights time period. During the time period of 1960, there was a spark in KKK activity due to the Civil Rights Movement (History).

Although Congress passed legislation to avoid the KKK. Their goal to fix white supremacy grew from democracy victories. This happened in the South during the 1870s. After an unsuccessful time in the KKK they soon got revived. This happened in the early 20th century. The burning of crosses and rallies got serious to the point of major breakouts. There were also many parades and marches. The marches and parades were to bash immigrants.

Likewise, groups of hate crimes have had a huge impact on social behavior for a long period of time. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) originated in 1865 primarily against people of a different race. The Civil Rights movements made later in this time calmed this storm and laws were created for the safety of diverse races. This last year saw an apparent comeback of KKK groups, growing immensely from 2014’s number of 72 to 2015’s 190. This apparent growth is mainly accounted for two major groups; the Fraternal White Knights, and the Knight Rider Knights disappeared as a whole and moved into other groups. Klan groups still continued to start last year. The Civil Rights movements of 1954-1968 put an end to segregation and the discrimination against those of different races. The KKK was disassembled during this time, the comeback of this group is dangerous for the society, and puts out a movement for racist

The KKK was founded in 1865 by six college students in the small town of Pulaski, Tennessee. The fore fathers of the Klan were John Lester, James Crowe, John Kennedy, Calvin Jones, Richard Reed, and Frank McCord. These men were Confederate veterans, were well-educated, and came from wealthy families. The Klan was originally created by these men as a social organization with fun in mind. This group spread through rural areas and small towns but it didn’t flourish in urban areas because urban areas weren’t suffering the small hardships as the rural towns were. They wanted to create a social group to defy the laws being passed by the U.S. government to give African American the same rights as white people. As word of this group spread, different towns created different divisions that all followed a supreme leader or Grand Wizard. All the groups gathered for a meeting to decide who would be the Grand Wizard. Nathan Bedford Forrest, former Confederate general, was elected Grand Wizard. During this time period the Ku Klux Klan was extremely powerful and influential. The Klan killed African Americans as a way to stop the new amendments that the government was trying to pass. This was the beginning

This group was founded in 1866 in the southern states of America. (history.com) The KKK is very notorious in carrying out hate crimes against groups they believe are inferior to the white race. They would burn crosses, have rallies, marches, and parades that discriminated against Catholics, Jews, and African-Americans. During the Civil Rights Movement, the KKK bombed black schools and churches in the South to carry out acts of hate crimes. In fact, most of the hate crimes committed by the KKK are directed at African-Americans. A very serious hate crime carried out by the KKK was the last recorded lynching. Michael Donald was a young African-American who was targeted by the KKK. He was beaten, had his throat slashed, and hanged by the KKK in Mobile, Alabama on March 21,1981. (en.wikipedia.org) This young man fell victim to this heinous hate crime just because of the color of his skin. He was singled out by the KKK because they were not satisfied with a court ruling that involved a white person and black person. Michael Donald in no way was directly related or involved to the matter except the color of his skin. This incident alone, should have sparked law makers to spring into action to protect the people of the United States from the acts of

The Ku Klux Klan has been classified as one of the first hate groups in the United States. This was due to their excessive amount of violent acts towards any group of people who did not meet their standards. A few of the goals of this group included; defeating the Republican Party and its supporters, as well as trying to maintain an absolute white reigned America. The Klan was not afraid to use violence to get their message across, and did so on many occasions. According to Jonathan M. Bryant the Klan; burnt down black churches and

The Klu Klux Klan was introduced when the foreign immigrants began moving to America and eventually gained popularity among those who disliked the black population (Clemens 30: 390-398). The Klan had a lot of members after it gained popularity and had a total of 14 million member, whom were all opposed to the blacks as well as anyone who was different from them. In most cases the members of this hateful organization against blacks and others who were different were often noted to be white males (Clemens 30: 450-467). It is said that they lynched around 200 blacks and that they are still a group even in today’s society (Clemens 30:

Founded before the “Anarchist Wave”, The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist organization that has been in existence for over 150 years. They are mainly known today for their violent acts of rebel terrorism against the Christian, Jewish and African American communities. The Ku Klux Klan, or KKK, is made up of 3 separate movements that have been around for all “Four Waves of Rebel Terror”.

With a meeting of friends on Christmas Eve a fraternity mockery that would later murder and persecute hundreds of thousands of minorities was formed. These men were retired confederate soldiers who were tired of northern carpetbaggers and African Americans disturbing their way of life. On December 24, 1865 the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was formed in the small town of Pulaski, Tennessee to fight for their rights. There have been many hate groups around the world; however, the Ku Klux Klan is one that has impacted the lives and lifestyles of Americans by promoting white supremacy, segregation, and treating minorities unjustifiably.

The Ku Klux Klan were violent against white and black republican leaders that supported the blacks right to vote.By 1870 the Ku Klux Klan was all over the south. Klan members got bigger in the regions of the south.The courts had found it hard to find people to give evidence to them when the Klan members did something wrong, therefore they got away with violence.The KKK act had called certain crimes done by members as federal offenses, meaning the Klan members were going to get punished now.

The United States of America is a country that has a very unique and divisive racial history. From its colonial beginnings, to its birth and emergence as one of the world’s biggest superpowers, the United States has seen the conflict between racial and ethnic groups. For many decades, the enslavement of Africans was rampant in the United States. Eventually, African culture became Americanized, and no longer were the enslaved people seen as Africans, but as African Americans. However, this immense ethnic group was oppressed by its white overseers, often to an unbelievably cruel degree. The American Civil War was an incredibly bloody war fought over the two extreme mindsets over the enslavement of African Americans. The Union sought the end of the incarceration of African Americans, while the Confederacy hoped to continue the institution. From the Civil War, one of the most well-known hate groups in American history can be traced. The Ku Klux Klan, or simply the Klan, began after the Civil War, and its influence can be seen all the way into the late 1900s. The 1920s, in particular, was a decade of transformation for Americans. The “Roaring Twenties,” and a surge of patriotism following World War I caused many aspects of life to change. This change was feared by Americans, specifically, white, Protestant American citizens. Here, the Klan flourished. Membership grew, and the Klan was better able to push across its segregating agenda. The Ku

The Klu Klux Klan developed during the Reconstruction period of the United States, after the Civil War(“Ku Klux Klan”). The organization assembled as a group to intimidate newly freed slaves in the south. They focused on their anger on the government that was supporting African American rights during the “Birth of the Nation.” The only race that was presented the opportunity to join the organization was WASPs, White Anglo-Saxon Protestants(“The KKK”). The group included mayors, judges, sheriffs, as well as criminals. They used outlandish titles, hooded costumes, and violent “night rides” in order to make the Klan more popular. The Klu Klux Klan will experience several cycles of growth and collapse, and sometimes these cycles will be more extreme than others(“Ku Klux Klan—Extremism in America-About the Ku Klux Klan”).

The Ku Klux Klan started on December 24, 1865. The KKK started after the civil war in Pulaski Tennessee. They started because blacks started to gain rights in society. The KKK was founded by 6 confederate war veterans. The founder's names are J. Calvin Jones, Frank O. McCord, John B. Kennedy, John C. Lester, James R. Crowe, Richard R. Reed. They started as a secret fraternity and over time started to run into a paramilitary force. They killed Blacks and burnt their property to reverse the government's reconstruction in the south especially things that helped African Americans. The kkk left a fearful impression on Black's for years to come.

White hoods. Fire. Hatred. Lynching. A faceless army has been quietly growing in the heart of the United States of America. The KKK, or Ku Klux Klan is often known for its violent racist attacks on others, but what is often unbeknownst is that the Ku Klux Klan has been reincarnated three times, each with a slightly different goal in mind. The first Klan was primarily focused on race, targeting black political movements, and undermining black civil rights however, something different occurred during the conception of the second Klan. The second Klan, while also racially motivated, also gained a newfound hatred. It developed the need to spread its corrupted Protestant beliefs to others, and persecute any conflicting religions, especially Roman Catholics. They were an army bred with a hatred and prejudice for all things that did not meet its twisted Protestant beliefs or share the same skin color as it. The Ku Klux Klan is notorious for its persecution of African Americans in the south, but their corrupted protestant belief system is what allows them to justify their acts of violence as cleansing and protection of their race and religion.

Local law enforcement officials most of the time belonged to the Klan where activity took place. The current movement consists of numerous small groups that use the KKK name. The first Ku Klux Klan gained power in the South towards the end of the 1800s. The Klan Members made often colorful, robes, masks designed to be outlandish. The KKK again came around 1920 to adopt the standard white costume. They did this while making cross burnings and parades around the southern states. It was directed towards the opposition to the Catholic Church. The KKK in the third movement came from the groups that formed after the 1950s. They focused on the Civil Rights Movement using many typed of crime in order. The other incarnations of the Ku Klux Klan made reference to 19th-century. Members of the KKK saw themselves as having the American values and Christian moral. Almost every Christian denomination officially denounced the Ku Klux Klan. The case study that I will use was in 1980, when four black women were shot and killed by the Klan who’s names included Viola Ellison, Lela Evans, Opal Jackson and Katherine Johnson in Chattanooga, Tennessee, after a KKK initiation
