The KKK

The KKK or the Ku Klux Klan has dominated America from the 1860s to even the present day. The first branch of the KKK originated in Tennessee. Back then, their main goal was to stop the black people from voting, but it eventually turned into brawls between them. The Klan was formed again in 1915 by a man named William Simmons and at that time, their only opponent was NAACP or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. After the First World War the KKK became very hostile to Jews, Roman Catholics, Socialists, Communists, or anyone who was seen as foreign. The Klan today has not shown much change rather than its major decrease in the groups number. Hopefully one day, the Klan will be no more.
