∙ 14y agoWe have a Bill of Rights and groups of people may organize and hold meetings. As long as people do not break the law they are covered by the bill of rights. The KKK did break laws and murder people, but the main problem was proving it. Many of the leaders of states, cities, and law enforcement were members of the KKK, so for many years they were able to get away with the illegal things they did. In the 1920's they were so powerful that they held parades in Washington DC and ran a man for president. There have been members of the Senate that were KKK, but since the 1960's it has not been a popular organization to belong to. We may not agree with what groups and organizations think or do, but they are protected by our freedom of speech. That is what makes a democracy a democracy.

How did the civil rights movement fail?
ANSWER:The rights that Blacks gained after the Civil War, was short lived because of organizations such as the KKK (Klu Klux Klan).Such groups terrorized Blacks into not voting, ending any job or educational opportunities that they may have had.Once Reconstruction had ended in 1877, and the last of the Union troops were pulled out of the South, it would get even worse.It would be another 100 years later, before Blacks would be able to enjoy the rights they were given back in the 1860's.
Which group was created in late 1865 to resist Reconstruction efforts in the South?
One the most vigorous and dangerous organizations to seek revenge for the Confederate loss in the US Civil War and the resentment of occupying Federal troops in the South came about within the same year of the War's end. The organization was bent on wrecking Reconstruction and striking fear into newly freed slaves. This organization created confrontations for political reasons, to maintain Southern traditions and most commonly to keep freed Blacks in fear. In December of 1865, 14 Confederate veterans met in a Pulaski, Tennessee law office to form the Ku Klux Klan. On the surface, the Klan presented itself as a "social club". Insiders knew its real purpose and early into 1867, the Klan was a fully organized terrorist group committed to destroy Reconstruction and burn, kill, and execute Blacks and anyone who stood in their way. The early success of the Klan was the fear it created and thus caused any witnesses to its crimes to be silent. The Klan's goals were a "negative force" against white cities and their citizens, and of course their Black citizens. Special attention was given to the Federal governments Freedmen's Bureau's set up to transition freed slaves into main stream America. In 1866 race riots in Memphis and New Orleans were orchestrated by the Klan. The Klan was able to actually cause freedmen to assert their presumed rights against legitimate white organizations by trickery, making the freedmen seem like the villains. So, as example in Memphis, recently discharged Black Union soldiers clashed with police over an arrest of a Black Man. The Klan's evil genius pitted Whites & Blacks against each other in Memphis and in New Orleans. The created chaos in deciding who was right or wrong, forced the US Army to not intervene. And on & on such travesties continued in an atmosphere already primed for riots and the like.

Why was the ku klux klan significant?
Cause they hated blacks. The Ku Klux Klan formed during the reconstruction era. They were formed for the purpose of resisting Northern occupation and the anti-south Republican Party of the time. It was not originally a specifically racist organization, but by coincidence a lot of it's violence was directed towards blacks because they were the majority the of anti-south republicans at the time. It's later incarnations of the 20's and 60's are more widely recognized as the racial hate group they are known to be today.
You're an African American defense attorney who has just discovered that your client is a member of the ku klux klan when can you pull out of the case?
If you are really a lawyer, you should already know the answer to this question. You should also be able to phrase your question in question format with proper capitalization. I would think that if a lawyer does not feel they can provide proper defense or if the accused does not feel that they are receiving appropriate council a new defender could and should be appointed.

What was the position of the KKK in the constitution of the United states?
The KKK is an organization that developed after the civil war to terrorize African American's and to scare them. Made up of the police, county officers, and business men of the area it would ride at nignt. They wore the sheets to look like ghosts of Confederate soliders. The KKK is not in the constitution and the only reason they are able to exist is the constitution protects the right of assembly. Yet, it does not, protect the illegal activities that are committed by them. In recent years men who took part in bombings, murder, and illegal activities in the 1960's have been tried for their part in these actions.
