There were basically three KKKs. The first was started right after the Civil War. The second started in 1915 and the third arose in the 1950s. The latter was really a group of rather disorganized groups rather than a monolith.

Six middle-class Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee, created the original Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1865, in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War.[7] They made up the name by combining the Greek kyklos (κυκλος, circle) with clan.[8] The Ku Klux Klan was one among a number of secret, oath-bound organizations using violence, including the Southern Cross in New Orleans (1865), and the Knights of the White Camellia (1867) in Louisiana.[9]
