The Ku Klux Klan was re-founded in 1915 on Stone Mountain in Georgia. Bolstered by the Propaganda from Griffith's Birth of a Nation, violently racist sentiment ran rampant in a south governed by men who had grown up with stories from Confederate war vets bitter over their defeat. Those sympathies created lax enforcement of laws for Africans Americans, which resulted in widespread violence including lynching's, dragging's, beatings, and the famous terrorist tactic of burning a cross.
