Ku Klux Klan
The recronstruction of the 19th century
The Ku Klux Klan
The Ku Klux Klan started/founded in 1865, the reason of this group was to scare people, kill people, and most of these members were confederate soldiers of the civil war doing this. Some of these people scare and kill black free slaves so they don't vote, that's where the democrats win these elections during this century.
What they did
The Ku Klux Klan was started because of the slaves getting rights, so they did anything to stop them from having any; They beat them and hanged them in their position.
Meetings
The klan had meetings, or a ceremony, so every member got a torch, light the top up, and they had a big cross made out of wood, and they all lit it up.
They and their horse
The members put a robe or something over their horses to disguise them so people didn't know who they are
The burning Cross
The members lighting up the cross and watching it burn down
The Klans
This group made a big impact in history, they attacked black and white republicans which made the democrat win allot of elections. The Ku Klux Klan still exist today, and they still try these crimes, but in this time period, they're harder to stop
