Its a Wednesday morning, I feel I have enough time to come up with a new post. This time its about something which I had recently read. Its about Ku Klux Klan.
I came to know about Ku Klux Klan for the first time when I was reading the book " Gone With the Wind " by Margaret Mitchell. I thought of putting it up in the blog. But somehow forgot.
It was in one of the Sherlock Holmes adventure stories that I once again read about Ku Klux Klan. (I think it was in the case of The Red Headed League)
Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the name of several past and present organizations in the United States These organizations have often used terrorism, violence and acts of intimidation to oppress African Americans and other groups.
The First KKK group was formed in 1866. Formed by veterans of the Confederate Army it used to resist reconstruction. It also focused on turning down freed slaves. It often used violent methods and it was turned down in 1870.
