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.

With slavery over, white Southern men had to come up with new ways to oppress black people. So they formed the Ku Klux Klan, and started lynching and terrorizing blacks, and any whites that tried to help blacks.One hundred and fifty years later, the Klan is still going strong (although their numbers have been greatly diminished). The main tenet of the Klan is that white Christians are the superior race, and everybody else (blacks, Jews, Mexicans, Indians, homosexuals...basically everybody but them) are inferior "mud people."

These people are so paranoid, and so full of crazy conspiracy theories...honestly, you will laugh and vomit at the same time).
