What does k k k mean? (It seems to be some kind of Klan)

KuKluxKlan: The original meaning of these three words refers to the three-step sound when the pistol is triggered, and it is a formula for learning to shoot. Now it refers to the secret organization of American terrorism-the Klan. There are two Klan in American history. One of them was founded shortly after the civil war and disappeared in11970s. The other was founded in Atlanta, Georgia on 195 1 and has been active ever since. Although the purpose of the Klan is not in line with the changes of the times, it is basically anti-black, anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish, and is famous for its terrorist and violent activities.

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 Ku Klux Klan is composed of veterans of the Confederate army who were defeated in the Civil War in 1866. In the early stage of development, the Klan's goal was to restore the Democratic Party's power in the southern United States and oppose the policy of improving the treatment of old slaves promoted by the federal army in the south. This organization often achieves its goals through violence. 187 1 year, president hiram grant promulgated the ku klux Klan and its implementation bill, forcibly banning this political organization.

The second organization named after this name was founded by William Simmons at the top of the Stone Mountain near Atlanta 19 15. This is a profit-making organization, whose purpose is to gain the comparative advantage of white Protestants over blacks, Roman Catholics, Jews, Asians and other immigrants. Although this organization preaches racism, lynching and other violent acts, it operates openly in the United States. At the peak of 1920s, it had 4 million members, including politicians from government agencies at all levels. During the Great Depression, the organization's development fell into a trough, and many members were lost in World War II because of conscription or voluntary participation in the army.

The organization's name "Klan" was also used by many other organizations, including those that opposed the Civil Rights Act and advocated racial discrimination in the 1960s. In the United States and other countries, there are still dozens of organizations that use all or part of words as their names.
