The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was founded in 1865 by a group of Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee. The organization was initially established as a social club but quickly evolved into a secret society that promoted white supremacy and used intimidation and violence against African Americans and other minority groups. Key figures in its founding include Frank O. McCord, John C. Lester, and James Crowe. The KKK became notorious for its racist activities and has undergone various transformations and resurgences throughout American history.
