Klu Klux Klan

Klu Klux Klan

Ku Klux Klan
	
	A secret terrorist organization that originated in the southern states during the period of 
Reconstruction following the American Civil War and was reactivated in the 20th century. The 
Ku Klux Klan  believed in the innate inferiorityof black so therefore mistrusted adn resented the 
rise of former slaves to a status of civil equality and often to positions of political power. The 
lan became an illegal organization committed to destroying the Reconstruction governments 
from the Carolinas to Arkansas. Attired in robes or sheets and wearing masks topped with 
pointed hoods, the Klansmen terrorized public officials in effort to drive them from office and 
blacks in general to prevent them from voting, holding office, and otherwise exercising their 
newly acquird political rights. It was customary for them to burn crosses on hillsides and near 
the homes of who they wished to frighten. When such tactics failed to produce the affect they 
wanted,  the victim would be flogged, mutilated, or murdered. These activities were justified by 
the klan as necessary measures in defense of white supremacy and the inviolability of white 
womanhood
