The Ku Klux Klan During The Twentieth Century

The Ku Klux Klan originated in the South during the year of 1866, and spread across the nation; during the early twentieth century, the KKK had approximately four million members throughout the country. Their members occupied many political influences in some states such as Oregon, Indiana, and Colorado. Over 2000 Kansas citizens were murdered during the election, also; Georgia has increased number of beatings and threats than their counterparts, while in Louisiana; 1000 Blacks were killed before the election because of the level of violence. In addition to this, the founder of the KKK is Nathan Bedford Forrest, who served in the Grand Wizard; and was equally a former Confederate general. In early 1868, Nathan played a significant role in establishing another new KKK that later spread around; also, in early 1868 to 1870s, the Klan operates as a political and social terrorist that had a goal to defeat their Republican political party.

Also, the Klan Act of 1871 was established to take criminal crimes that KKK individuals committed as federal offenses; these crimes include, but not limited to conspiracies to rob citizens their right to run for office, equal protection under the law, and serve on juries. In addition to this, the Act that prohibits Ku Klux Klan from violently interfering with voter's registration, voting, and Blacks serving on juries became more valued to the extent that 5000 KKK were charged; and 1000 members convicted. Equally important, the KKK believe that during the 19th century, a race is some form of organic group that has a complete limitation on others; such as White with White, and Black to be with Black.
