1 Ku Klux Klan What is it like to be part of the KKK?
To be part of the kkk is like to be part of any other family. They have rules they follow and even have their religion like many of us.

2 How was the KKK made? The KKK started after the civil war when the confederate army lost to the union. It started with a group of southerners who were very angry because they had lost all their slaves due to their loss at the civil wat. The Klan started in 1865 on christmas eve. The ex-confederate soldiers were John Lester, James Crowe, John Kennedy, Calvin Jones, Richard Reed, and Frank McCord. The klan was made for fun at first. They wore the masks and white costumes so they could pretend that they were dead ghost from the civil war. They would go around towns scarring colored people only. That’s how they got their costumes.

3 How was the KKK made? Part 2
Later as the kkk realized the fear they had struck among the people their actions got violent. More ex soldiers agreed to their doings and joined the klan. Soon the klan was huge. The klan was responsible for hangings, shootouts, and mobbing. The consequences for their actions got worse as the time went by so soon some members left the klan.

4 What are the goals of the KKK?
There goals are simple. Tell people their belief. Show how they have changed and how the media has lied about certain information. Show people to love their heritage and not be ashamed of it. Teach the meaning of the bible so everyone can follow their christian ways. All white society.

5 How does the KKK achieve their goals?
They parade and march so people can listen to them. In the internet different klans have their own different wedsites. Also with the help of the christian bible and the help of god. Before though they got their message across through violent messages and violent riots

6 KKK members perspective!
“We are total christians. How the the clan started made us look the bad guys. But really the media lies and says horrible things about us. The truth is the negroes were the ones getting out of hand in the old history and they had to be stopped. So the klan started to defend the white people from them. All we want now is peace on the earth. Even though some stories still come out in the news about us those people that do those crimes aren’t in the klan they’re fakers making us look bad.”

7 Non white Perspective “The kkk has their theory to everything. And I agree, there strong people with a purpose to live like us all. I don’t have anything against them since I know that we might not know the true history behind it all. But if everything happened like the books and internet say it wouldn’t change my mind. I wouldn’t run up to white people and hit them, because it wouldn’t solve anything. What is in the past is in the past we only have today and the future.”
