What happened in the KKK?

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a white supremacist hate group founded in the United States in the aftermath of the Civil War, primarily to oppose Reconstruction and maintain white dominance. Over the years, the Klan has been involved in acts of violence, intimidation, and terrorism against African Americans and other minority groups. Its influence peaked in the 1920s, but it has faced significant decline and legal challenges since then. Despite this, the KKK has seen periods of resurgence and continues to exist in various forms, promoting racism and bigotry.
