The KKK is a racist group, where they go around discriminating immigrants - especially black people. It started back in 1865, when black people were given right. The KKK is a group of white people, who wanted to restore the white supremacy. They often use violence to prove a point. The KKK is known for wearing white robes and hoods and they also burn crosses to frighten non-members.
The first leader of the group was Nathan B. Forest who was a former confederate general. He went by the name “The Grand Wizard”.
The KKK believed that white people were better than black people and they wanted them to stop voting or to use the other rights. They often killed or attacked black people and any person who expressed sympathy for them.
Their identity was hidden because, they wore disguises, covered their horses, and they only rode at night. Their attacks drove black people out of the south. Later, a law came out, where the president could use federal troops toward the Klan.
