The group adopted the name ku klux klan from the greek word "kuklos" meaning circle and then they just took on the English word clan. So it simply means circle clan.

i don't really get this question

He was elected as member of the Georgia Legislature in the 1868 election. As a black man engaging in politics it was seen as 'unnatural' by many of the Southern Whites. Along with this racial science was beginning to grow momentum in the era which also did not help the position of blacks at the time. Taking these into the account the Ku Klux Klan den's of Georgia went out of their way to put a stop to 'Northern Carpetbagger' ideas and halt Reconstruction by violence and intimidation, thus Abram Colby's tragic murder.

I believe that KKK did what they did because he HATED blacks ,he thought it would be better if slaves or blacks were gone during ALL wars and in general.

The Ku Klux Klan was a group, not a person.

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.

What circumstances in his life contributed to Tiger Knowles’ feelings of alienation and of hostility toward minorities

From 1868 through the early 1870s the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) functioned as a loosely organized group of political and social terrorists. The Klan's goals included political defeat of the Republican Party and the maintenance of absolute white supremacy in response to newly gained civil and political rights by southern blacks after the Civil War (1861-65)

None, at least officially. In the post-civil war America, the last thing the Central _that is Washington) government wanted would be a president with KKK leanings. as far as I know this never happened. and get this fact straight, Robert E.Lee, the best-known Confederate General, was NEVER a KKK member or Founder. Ask ten people who founded the KKK and at least five will say Lee! that"s a matter of logistics.= fact is he was not a Klansman.

They wore white robes, pointy hats, and they did this because they wanted to show that's whites were better than blacks by wearing the white. Also the white symbolized Christianity. They were very religious.

It's Ku Klux Klan (aka KKK) a white supremicist organization.

Just as your neighbors today would probably recognize your car, so would neighbors by able to identify the horses of members of local Klansmen. The horses had to be covered for this reason.
