Ku-Klux-Klan

Klan (referred to as Klan) is a non-governmental organization that pursues white supremacy in American history and now, and it is also a representative organization of American racism. The Klan is the oldest and largest terrorist organization in the United States. The word Ku- crookes comes from the Greek word KuKloo, which means collection. Klan is a race. Because all three prefixes are K, it is called the Klan. Also known as the White Alliance and the Invisible Empire.

The earliest Ku Klux Klan was founded on February 24, shortly after the end of the Civil War, 1865+65438, by six lost veterans of the southern army in Pulaski, Tennessee. The original purpose was to perform satirical programs and some kind of commemorative ceremony. From 1866 to 1867, members of the organization began to disturb black prayer meetings and broke into black houses at night to take guns. Some of these actions have the shadow of Tennessee "yellow jacket", "red hat" and other self-defense police groups. 1867, the ku klux Klan held a general meeting in Nashville, announced the charter drafted by former Confederate army brigadier general George Gordon, and began to develop into a national organization. A few weeks later, Nathan Bedford Frest, a former Confederate general engaged in the slave trade, was elected as the first national leader. This organization often achieves its goals through violence. 187 1 year, president hiram grant promulgated the ku klux Klan and its implementing bill, which forcibly banned this political organization, but there have been many such atrocities since then.

19 15, some elderly members of the old Klan and members of the "Knight Mary pagan" organization held an inaugural meeting on a mountaintop to announce the birth of the new Klan.

From its inception, members of the Klan have a strong religious color, but they are not the same as ordinary Christians and Catholics in the United States. The Klan claimed that recent immigrants to the United States may destroy the customs and values of this country. Ku Klux Klan opposes Catholicism and hates Irish and southern Europeans. Therefore, the Klan recruits all extreme racists who oppose the current immigration policy in the United States.

Some large Ku Klux Klan organizations that are still in operation at present include: Ku Klan Knights Club of the United States, Ku Klan Empire of the United States, White Camelia Knights Club, etc. There are also many small organizations.

In 2003, relevant organizations estimated that there were about 5,500 to 6,000 Ku Klan members in the United States, who belonged to about 158 scattered organizations, and two thirds of them were in the former states of the American Confederacy. The remaining third is mainly distributed in the midwest of the United States.
