Missisipi Burning

The Ku Klux Klan is the name of three distinct far-rights (racist) organization in the United States, who has done such horrible things like killing, beating up to death, etc., the black population, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in America. The KKK promotes the xenophobia, white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration.

The first Klan of the KKK was established in Pulaski, Tennessee, in May 1866. Most of the leaders were former members of the Confederate Army. During the next two years Klansmen wearing masks, white cardboard hats and draped in white sheets, tortured and killed black Americans and sympathetic whites. Immigrants, who they blamed for the election of Radical Republicans, were also targets of their hatred. It died by the early of the 1870s. The second Klan adopted a burning Latin cross as its symbol. No such crosses had been used by the first Klan, but the burning cross was used as a symbol of intimidation by the second Klan. The burning of the cross was also used by the second Klan as a symbol of Christian fellowship, and its lighting during meetings was steeped in Christian prayer, the singing of hymns, and other overtly religious symbolism.[

The Ku Klux Klan was reformed in 1915 by William J. Simmons, a preacher influenced by Thomas Dixon's book, The Ku Klux Klan. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) became the main opponent of the Ku Klux Klan. They defend the rights of the people that were suffering a lot. This xenophobia, white supremacy, white nationalism, and anti-immigration continued during the Great Depression and the Second World War and in 1944 the organization was disbanded.

And the third clan was reformed in the 1950s and it is still active. The first and third incarnations of the Klan have well-established records of engaging in terrorism and political violence, though historians debate whether or not the tactic was supported by the second KKK.
