The Kkk
By: Sara & Vada
The first Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee by six veterans of the Confederate Army and not long after, the South adopted the same name and methods. This organization sought to restore white supremacy, the belief that white people are superior to people of other racial backgrounds, and that therefore whites should politically dominate non-whites. The First Klan was very violent and uses threats and murder against blacks and white Republicans. The United States Congress soon passed the Enforcement Acts, three bills that gave blacks the rights to vote and ect. This ended the first Klan
The second Klan was founded in Atlanta, Georgia and its appeal was directed at white protestants. The second Klan was a secret society, and usually made alliances with southern police departments. Several members were convict of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th street Baptist Church in Brimingham. Today the Ku Klux Klan is known as the "terrorist organization."
