The Ku Klux Klan


The Ku Klux Klan was a secret society with a goal and extreme determination to discriminate blacks and terrorize them. However, their original goal was to prevent blacks from voting things escalated to the extremes and racial discrimination had never been worse. Not only were blacks targeted, but also any person who aided blacks or sympathized with them, disregarding race.


Lynching was unfortunately one of the ways that the KKK terrorized the blacks. Hung from trees, many blacks suffered a horrible death simply because of the color of their skin. Thinking and reflection back on this time makes my skin crawl and also wonder how someone can hate another human so horribly that their life goal is to cause them unbelievably large amounts of pain and suffering.
