The Ku Klux Klan is an active group of people who believe in white supremacy, nationalism, and are anti-immigration. They have been expressed historically as the United States' first domestic terrorist group. The KKK is also anti-communist. They don't believe things should be equal for everyone. They believe white people are the supreme and divine race. It has, today, 5,000 to 8,000 members. The first Klan was created in the South in the 1860s. It then went pretty much went away by the early 1870s. Members wear white costumes. They wear robes, masks, and pointy masks to disguise their real identities. The first Klan used public violence. They would burn houses, attack, and kill black people. Most of the time, the bodies were left on the streets. The KKK also didn't want blacks voting. They did everything they could, killing thousands of blacks just weeks before the voting dates. The KKK even started killing, wounding, and threatening whites who were trying to help the blacks vote.
