Yes, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was initially founded in the American South after the Civil War and was primarily formed by white individuals from rural areas. Many of its members were farmers, laborers, and small business owners who felt threatened by social and economic changes that came with the end of slavery. However, it is important to note that the KKK's membership extended beyond rural areas, and it drew support from various socioeconomic backgrounds over its history.

No, the KKK and the Knights of Columbus are two separate organizations. The Knights of Columbus is a Catholic fraternal service organization, while the KKK is a white supremacist hate group. There is no official connection or collaboration between the two.

A similar belt buckle was just sold on proxibid for $80, so that is likely close to your buckle's price.

It was started by former Confederate soldiers

Yes they are. In Forrest gump, gump says he got his name from his great uncle(i believe) who was the leader of Ku Klux Klan.

Congress passed many bills to try to stop the KKK, such as a bill to try and prevent the klan from doing violence and trying to protect immigrants and their rights, as well. :)::):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):

They used violence to make African-Americans afraid of them. People would be dragged from their homes and beaten, or even hanged. Homes, businesses, and churches were burned or vandalized. Or they could use the threat of violence: a wooden cross would be erected near someone's home and set afire, to warn them not to do anything against the Klan or its beliefs.

The Klan members wore hoods or masks so that they could not be identified, and most of their cowardly acts took place under the cover of night.

The best guestimate is that there are about 150 Klan chapters and approx. 8,000 members nationwide.

The Ku Klux Klan had two major goals during the peak of their power:

1) the political defeat of the Republican Party;

2) the maintenance of absolute white supremacy in the South.

It once was but New Castle is somewhat integrated now. I believe it shifted to Greenfield, IN in the mid-late 90s.

The Ku Klux Klan was originally a social fraternity, organized by Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first Grand Wizard of the Empire, in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1865.

The Ku Klux Klan is an order of racist individuals who feel that they are the supreme race. These people do not recognize ethnic groups such as; blacks,Hispanics,Jews, or any others that are not white Anglo saxson. There have been reports that some of these klan members have commited hatred crimes against some of these ethnic groups,this is a very wrong thing to do, don't be influenced to be a part of that. It is still around today. The Klu Klux Klan is spelled wrong, it is actually the Ku Klux Klan.

They want America to stay white and purely white. They don't like outsiders and other religions.

They mainly hated their to scare African America's because of the changes in society that were integrating African Americans.

Many members of regular society joined because well, the law wasn't oppressive enough for them to be happy about the African Americans.

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.

In general the KKK hate black Mexicans, some KKK members are okay with white Mexicans. So overall the KKK do hate Mexicans.

Before the American Civil War, black people were treated entirely unfairly, because they were still slaves. The war was about the argument is slavery good or bad. Slaves were thought to be inferior (not as good) as their white masters. They were made work for nothing and only given small portions of food.

Hope that helps :)

P.S - This answer was given by a 12yr old :)

Conservatives were threatened by changes in society and its moral standards.

They Were expired the vviolence

everything. I believe they got all their basic beliefs from the natzis. All their hate is coming from the reasons the natzis hated.

it wasn't exactly religion they were joined by, but the colour of their skin.

They hated the black people, therefore (and) they were white (people) To answer the question, the KKK are technically Protestant Christian, although many of their beliefs run contrary to the foundations of Protestantism, and the average white Protestant will have no truck with them. The KKK espouses white supremacy and does not limit its rhetoric only to prejudice against black people. They also are against Asians, Jews, Catholics, and others.

KKK, Ku Klux Klan opposed African-Americans, Jews, Catholics, and Immigrants.

yes, but they are down from 6 million in 1920s to about 8,000 today

their goal was to purify America

The KKK still exhists today. So technically, they have never dissapeared.
