A group called the KKK [Ku Klux Klan] had formed after the Civil War. It was a group in the South and their main purpose was to show that Whites were still superior to other races. This group had a passionate hatred towards the Blacks. The members of the group killed over 150 African Americans in one Florida county. They wore white robes and masks over their faces to conceal their identity. They would shoot and burn houses and lynch families of Blacks. Basically, they hated the Blacks and a little while after, they started to hate Christians and Jews too.
