Hi my name is Justin and I am 5 years old bye bye.
Why was the first ku klux kaln formed?
The first and original Ku Klux Klan was formed in Spring 1866 in a law office in Pulaski, Tennessee. The original founders were 6 confederate veterans of the Civil War. Upon return to their home town of Pulaski, they found life boring compared to wartime life. They organized to form some kind of social group that could amuse them. They called themselves the Ku Klux Klan because of the word "kuklos", which means "the circle" in Greek. Klan was added as they are all of Scottish/Irish background. The group had no real point, it was just a source of amusement!!! One night the six founders were inspired by the "mystical" name they had created, they raided an old ladies linen cupboard, draped cloths over themselves, and pulled pillowcases over their heads. They then ran around the town yelling and screaming.REMEMBER: the original and first Ku Klux Klan was just a source of amusement. There is significant evidence to suggest that the residents of Pulaski, even enjoyed the pranks as it gave them something to look forward to. It was only later that the Klan became extremest and violent. If you want more info on this I suggest you read "The Fiery Cross" by Wyn Craig Wade. It helped me a lot and it has lots of useful info.Hope this helped :-)
What did the ku klux klan Advocate-?
They advocated in Dubi with the cheetas. The Ku Klux Klan was originally a social fraternity, organized by Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the Empire, in 1867. The purpose of the KKK soon developed into a paramilitary force used to oppose the Republican governments set up in the old Confederate States and used to stop Freedmen (ex-slaves) from voting, attempting to register to vote, and from trying to hold elective offices in the southern states. When the KKK became too violent, Forrest ordered it disbanded, but the violent element in the KKK continued, until the government passed the Force Acts and the Klan was extinguished in 1872. In 1915, William Simmons founded the twentieth-century version of the KKK after viewing the film, Birth of a Nation, which glorified the history of the Klan. The new Klan was not only anti black, but anti Jewish, anti foreign, and anti-Catholic. The Klan actually became a respected part of the Democratic Party and reached its peak of political power in the 1920s, when membership may have been as high as 4.5 million, including many prominent business and political leaders. The Klan declined in power when the Grand Dragon, was found guilty of second degree murder in the death of a young women whom he had taken to Chicago with him. In an attempt to lessen his sentence, Grand Dragon David Stephenson turned over evidence to the government revealing the corruption of the Klan, the names of politicians the Klan had bribed, and other illegal activities of the organization. In the 1960s, the KKK briefly rose again to try and opposed the Civil Rights movement. After numerous deaths and disappearance of civil rights workers in the South, and the burning of black churches, and the passage of the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965, the Klan fell apart. Today, there are small splinter groups of the KKK but no one large national organization.

Why were white women attracted to the KKK?
Women were attracted to the KKK if they supported what the Klan was advocating. The women's auxiliary was called the Women of the Ku Klux Klan (WKKK). A major leader of the WKKK was Daisy Douglas Barr, who was also a leader in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). uhh,what are you talking about? That question didn't make sence and your communication skill's in your question make's it hard to understand. im a white older women who is not supporting the ku klux klan and their stupid beliefs about race. Ugh,they make me sick and why would i? just because im old school doesn't mean i have hate inside me. c'mon,be reaosnable. I know it's just a question. but,some white women weren't.
How did the Ku Klux Klan hurt African Americans?
They would try to scare them back to going in to slavery and make them go back to their old masters. They used violence and harassment to scare people. They are even around today and try to portray them selves as being scary....
