What are the origins of the Ku Klux Klan?

The first branch of the Ku Klux Klan was established in Pulaski, Tennessee, in May, 1866. A year later a general organization of local Klan's was established in Nashville in April, 1867. Most of the leaders were former members of the Confederate Army and the first Grand Wizard was Nathan Forrest, an outstanding general during the American Civil War. During the next two years they terrorised and killed black Americans, sympathetic whites and immigrants, who they blamed for the election of Radical Republicans. Between 1868 and 1870 the Ku Klux Klan played an important role in restoring white rule in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. At first the main objective of white supremacy organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan was to stop black people from voting. After white governments had been established in the South the Ku Klux Klan continued to undermine the power of blacks. Successful black business's were attacked and any attempt to form black protection groups such as trade unions was quickly dealt with. Eventually the Klan targeted anyone they disliked - Jews, Catholics etc.

What was the role of religion in the second resurgence of the Klan?

In the second era of the klan, religion had a major role. i did a couple temr papers on the history of the before i dropped out to have my son. One time, i ran across an old newspaper add containing the KKK "kreed". It was a simple document with like 19 points that the kkk held. Well, the first Point on there was something like "I believe in God and in the tenets of the Christian religion and that a Goddlesss nation can not long prosper". the klan and religion were very intertwined in those days. the "kreed" expressed the klan to have an interest in God first and country second. they were a very religious group. The Klan felt "..protestant virtues marking fitness for citizenship that the Klan...as essential for white racial identity". They equated different religions with different races. if you were jewish, it was almost as if you were black in their eyes. it isn't hard to imagine a preacher preaching a white To tell you just how intertwined the second resurgence of the klan and religion was, consider two things. In 1915, the the traditonal klan symbol was initated on top of a mountain in georgia. and what was that symbol? a burning cross. also, do you wanna know who they hired to sell klan membership in 1920's. Protestant pastors. Pretty crazy!
