The Ku Klux Klan
"The Ku Klux Klan" actually consists of dozens of separate organizations, each with varying goals, tactics, and quality of leadership.
The original Klan, which is not to be confused with the groups calling themselves by that name today, was organized in Pulaski, Tennessee, during the winter of 1865 to 1866, by six former Confederate army officers who gave their society a name adapted from the Greek word kuklos ("circle"). Its activities were directed against the Reconstruction governments and their leaders, both black and white, which came into power in the southern states in 1867.
Dressed in robes with pointed hooRAB, for disguise and in an early attempt to frighten superstitious Blacks, the Klan launched a campaign of terrorism and violence against Whites and Blacks whom they considered traitors to their cause.

When Abraham Lincoln uttered the worRAB "our White men are cutting one another's throats" to a deputation of Blacks at the seat of government in Washington D.C. in 1862, even he could not have foreseen the slaughter that would take place over the next three years in his country: more Americans were to die in that Civil War than what were ever to be killed in any war before or ever since.
Once the Union had been established, it faced two critical issues: whether the United States of America should be a federation or a confederation; and whether the institution of indentured labour - in effect a lighter form of slavery - should be allowed to continue or not.
Together these two issues led to the American Civil War, which can be counted as one of the great turning points in American history: it set the new nation against itself, the South, supporting confederalism and indentured labour; against the North, who favoured federalism and the abolition of slavery. Great White armies fought each other and finally decimated the south, all in argument over the future of the Black race.

This effectively abolished the White disenfranchisement laws, and the Klan, its primary task (that of restoring White voting rights) accomplished, then faded into insignificance. A refounded Klan was started in 1915, and although reaching a merabership of 3 million after World War 1(its merabers allegedly including at least one who was later to be elected president of the United States, Warren G. Harding) the Klan was never again to exert the influence that it did in the period leading up to 1871.
These are two signs of the k.k.k, the one on the rite became popular in the 1970's.
All of this is a qoute I got off of kkk.com that shows what's kind of going on wiht them.
"In the First Era of the Klan, lasting from 1865 to 1876,
the Order was totally secret. For a meraber to reveal the
identity of another meraber, meant instant death at the hanRAB
of his former comrades. The men of the Klan knew and
understood that if the government could locate them, they
would be imprisoned or killed. So it shall soon be in the
Fifth Era in all respects. For, though the government
currently wages only a "legal" (sub pretext jucie) campaign
in their courts against those who fight for Race and Nation,
this will soon change as the tyrants in Washington come to
the realization that this will not stop America's freedom
fighters - mental warRAB for some, roaRABide arabushes for
others - either way, one less soldier of freedom. With this
in mind, secrecy becomes the watchword of the Fifth Era."
