The first group of the KKK was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee in May 1866. The Klan moved to Nashville in April 1867. Most of the leaders of the Klan were former members of the Confederate Army. This makes sense, because the south wanted to make slavery legal. Over the next two years they killed African Americans, sympathetic whites and Jews. Their first main objective was to stop blacks from voting. They attacked successful blacks such as businessman and black protection groups. By 1925 the amount of members reached 4,000,000. But the members were unlikely to be convicted by southern juries. When the Klan’s leader, David C. Stephenson, was convicted of second-degree murder and found with evidence of corruption, the Klan was disbanded. Around the same time the Civil Rights Movement came into play, in 1950, the Klan was revived. The Klan was revived because some of the Klan’s men felt the need to “teach” the locals a lesson.
 * Introduction:**

The KKK is one of many perfect examples of inequality. For example, equality is for everyone to be treated the same. But to be killed because you are not the same race as another or because you like/care for the “other” race. Its unjust and sick. Also it is the complete opposite of liberty. Liberty is the individual freedom you get in the country, but what the KKK has done is not give people freedom but more so being under the power of some. Like the African Americans of that time were under the power of the Klan because if they did something that the Klan didn’t agree with then they were killed. And this is the link to our commercial.
