Ku Klux Kl John B. Kennedy And James R. Crowe

The Ku Klux Klan, more commonly known as the KKK, was one of America's most prominent hate groups. While it was originally started in 1865 in Tennessee, the terrorist organization wasn’t reborn until around the 1920’s, after the Civil War had just been resolved. Due to cultural conflict and modernization that was occurring, the KKK was officially resuscitated, and stronger than ever. The name Ku Klux Klan is derived from the Greek word kyklos meaning “circle” and the Scottish-Gaelic word “clan,” and was founded by several esteemed soldiers, all of whom were part of the Confederate army.
