Is the klu klux klan good?

Answer 1

For the most part, the Ku Klux Klan no longer exists, so it is neither good nor bad. At the end of the American Civil War, vagabond solders and other groups tyrannized parts of the South. The established civil authorities were unable to protect the people. At that point the Ku Klux Klan formed in secret and started fighting back. It started out as an organization to prevent terrorism. It served a good purpose. After it had solved the original problem, it continued to meet. At that point it became a terrorist organization. General Forest ordered it to stop meeting. It took it a while to wind down.

Right after World War 1, a number of communist led riots occurred in the United States. Open warfare existed. The Klan came into existence again to fight an enemy that the government could not fight. This time the Klan was headquartered in Indiana. Many of the battles involved an alliance between the Communists and the Labor Unions. To stop the pitched battles, Congress passed an Immigration bill to keep more Communists from Eastern Europe from entering the United States. When the Democrats got rid of the Communist, Henry Wallace, the Vice President in 1944, the Communist danger within the United States had passed. The Klan no longer had a reason to exist. The Klan again became a terrorist organization. As a result of a number of arrests, it has wound down. Now the Klan does not really exist as such. Occasionally a group forms, but it does not stay formed for long.

Many organizations used the pattern followed by the Klan. A terrorist group or some terrorist activity exists which the established government can not or will not control. It is illegal or extremely dangerous for anyone else to try to do anything about it. Some men get together in secret and create a secret organization to solve the problem. The secret organization starts killing the bullies and terrorists. When all the bullies and terrorists have been killed, the secret organization does not disband, but remains a viable organization. Then it becomes like the organizations it opposed.
