The Ku Klux Klan (KKK),[object Object],By: Kathleen Sullivan,[object Object]
The KKK of the 1920s ,[object Object],	The Ku Klux Klan’s relevance to the 1920s is right after the Civil War, this was created because some peoples lives were changed after the war because they had to give up their slaves when the African Americans won their freedom.,[object Object],X,[object Object]
The KKK Symbol:,[object Object]
Ku Klux Klans,[object Object],	There were two main Ku Klux Klans. Although they shared the same purpose, they were different in some ways. ,[object Object]
Ku Klux Klan #1,[object Object],	The KKK started right after the Civil War. It contained white Southerners who were angry when the war ended. They were upset because the Blacks had gained freedom from slavery and they had lost their slaves. Their lives had changed without slavery and they felt threatened.,[object Object]
Ku Klux Klan #1 Continued…,[object Object],	The Klan wanted to control the freed slaves. They attempted to ruin black education, economic advancement, voting rights, and the right to bear arms. However, the Klan's focus was not just African Americans; Southern Republicans also became a big target of the KKK. A wave of 1,300 murders of Republican voters in 1868, was primarily a political purge rather than a racial conflict. The violence achieved its purpose.,[object Object]
Ku Klux Klan #1 Continued…,[object Object],The first Klan was never well organized. As ,[object Object],a secret or "invisible" group, it had no ,[object Object],membership rosters, no newspapers, no ,[object Object],local officers, and no state or national ,[object Object],officials. Its popularity came from its ,[object Object],reputation, which was greatly enhanced ,[object Object],by its outlandish costumes and its ,[object Object],threatening theatricality. ,[object Object]
Ku Klux Klan #2,[object Object],The second Ku Klux Klan was founded in ,[object Object],1915. It demonstrated the newfound ,[object Object],power of modern mass media. It was founded by William J. Simmons at Stone Mountain, outside Atlanta.,[object Object]
Ku Klux Klan #2 Continued…,[object Object],	The second Ku Klux Klan rose spread from the South into the Midwest region and Northern states and even into Canada. At its peak, Klan membership exceeded 4 million and was 20% of the adult white male population. Most memberships were from the Midwest region. By 1925 the Klan was a powerful political force in the state.,[object Object]
Activities of Ku Klux Klan #2,[object Object],The burning cross is a symbol used by the Klan to create ,[object Object],terror. Cross burning is said to have been introduced by ,[object Object],William J. Simmons, the founder of the second Klan in ,[object Object],1915. In the 1920s and 1930s a group of the Klan called ,[object Object],the Black Legion was very active in the Midwestern U.S. ,[object Object],Rather than wearing white robes, the Legion wore black ,[object Object],uniforms similar from those of pirates. The Black Legion was the ,[object Object],most violent group of the Klan, and were ,[object Object],known for targeting and assassinating communists and ,[object Object],socialists.,[object Object]
Why Did I Choose the KKK?,[object Object],	I chose to write about the Ku Klux Klan because I think they are a very interesting topic because you do not find very many groups like this. The KKK is very unique to 1920s.,[object Object]
