KKK members have low self-esteem, which they try to fix by seeking a group identity. They don't want to confront their own inadequacy, so they blame others for their problems. They are allowed to protest because this is a free country.

Jim Crow laws dont effect anyone anymore.  Our country correct that mistake a long time ago.

I think there is plenty of hate for both groups, and they stand on basically the same level. The reason we see more animosity directed towards the fundamentalist muslims is simply because there are more of them and they're a bigger problem. In comparison, the KKK is small potatoes. Not that what either group does is acceptable.\n\nAdditionally, mainstream Christianity publicly denounces the actions of the KKK. Perhaps it has more to do with a lack of freedom of speech in these middle eastern countries, but we don't see this from mainstream Islam.

Socially: Everyone ignored the ban on alcohol and partied a lot.  Economically: The stock market crashed and the economy plunged into a depression.  Politically: People blamed Hoover for the lack of jobs and money and elected FDR.

It began the Jim Crow Era in the South\n\nBecause of the failure of Reconstruction there was a need for the civil rights movement to occur following World War II.

The biggest issue of the sixties was putting a man on the moon.  Then Kennedy was shot and that was all but overshadowed by the same bunch who brought us Iraq taking us into Vietnam.  Then there was Martin Luther King and the civil rights  movement.  The time was about freedom, the rights of men and women, and what this country should be about.  Some of these issues made it through, while the movement itself was systematically crushed,  partly by the shooting deaths of both Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King, the students at Kent State, the police riot in Chicago against the war demonstrators.  "We  will have no more of this" was the message that came through loud and clear.

"Ku Klux Klan" is the name of a number of past and present fraternal organizations in the United States that have advocated white supremacy and anti-Semitism; and in the past century, anti-Catholicism, and nativism.\n\nThe Klan's first incarnation was in 1866. Founded by veterans of the Confederate Army, its main purpose was to resist Congressional Reconstruction, and it focused as much on intimidating "carpetbaggers" and "scalawags" as on putting down the freed slaves. It quickly adopted violent methods, and was involved in a wave of 1,300 murders of Republican voters in 1868. A rapid reaction set in, with the Klan's leadership disowning it, and Southern elites seeing the Klan as an excuse for federal troops to continue their activities in the South. The organization was in decline from 1868 to 1870, and was destroyed in the early 1870s by President Ulysses S. Grant's vigorous action under the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act).\n\nThe founding in 1915 of a second distinct group using the same name was inspired by the newfound power of the modern mass media, via the film The Birth of a Nation and inflammatory and anti-Semitic newspaper accounts surrounding the trial and lynching of accused murderer Leo Frank. The second KKK was a formal membership organization, with a national and state structure, that paid thousands of men to organize local chapters all over the country. Millions joined and at its peak in the 1920s the organization included about 15% of the nation's eligible population.[1] The second KKK typically preached Racism, anti-Catholicism, nativism, and anti-Semitism and some local groups took part in lynchings and other violent activities. Its popularity fell during the Great Depression, and membership fell again during World War II, due to scandals resulting from prominent members' crimes and support of the Nazis.\n\nToday, the third KKK, with operations in separated small local units, is considered an extreme hate group. The third KKK has been disowned by all mainstream media and political and religious leaders.\n\nThe name "Ku Klux Klan" has since been used by many different unrelated groups, including many who opposed the Civil Rights Act and desegregation in the 1960s. Today, dozens of organizations with chapters across the United States and other countries use all or part of the name in their titles, but their total membership is estimated to be only a few thousand.\n\nCreation\nThe original Ku Klux Klan was created after the end of the American Civil War on December 24, 1865, by six educated, middle-class Confederate veterans[2] who were bored with postwar Pulaski, Tennessee. The name was constructed by combining the Greek "kyklos" (circle) with "clan."[3] It was at first a humorous social club centering on practical jokes and hazing rituals.[4] From 1866 to 1867, the Klan began breaking up black prayer meetings and invading black homes at night to steal firearms. Some of these activities may have been modeled on previous Tennessee vigilante groups such as the Yellow Jackets and Redcaps.\n\nIn an 1867 convention held in Nashville, the Klan was formalized as a national organization under a "Prescript" written by George Gordon, a former Confederate brigadier general. The Prescript states as the Klan's purposes:[5]\n\nFirst: To protect the weak, the innocent, and the defenseless from the indignities, wrongs and outrages of the lawless, the violent and the brutal; to relieve the injured and oppressed; to succor the suffering and unfortunate, and especially the widows and orphans of the Confederate soldiers. \nSecond: To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States ... \nThird: To aid and assist in the execution of all constitutional laws, and to protect the people from unlawful seizure, and from trial except by their peers in conformity with the laws of the land. \nStripped of obfu

The jazz in the roaring 20's brought blacks closer with whites, WWI really helped, and then the great depression, during then, blacks were often the first ones to be fired off of their jobs. Then in WWII, their was a huge migration of blacks to the north for jobs in factories. In the 1950's whites moved from the cities and went to the suburbs, most of the minorities stayed in the inner cities because they couldn't get the loans needed to moved to the suburbs. There was also a supreme court ruling that ruled Plessy vs. Ferguson (allowed separate but equal...) unconstitutional.

These are very common subjects. You may consider doing research or checking class notes. For lack of that,\nthere was a big burst of industry after the civil war. Things became more advanced. More people moved to the United States and of course, emancipation of slaves had a great effect on the diversity of the population. Maybe these facts can help you to understand what sort of development you're looking for?\n\nSorry I couldn't be more helpful!

Ku Klux Klan, and Nathan Bedford Forrest and some other disgruntled Confederate officers started it as a means of terrorizing African Americans after the Civil War.

KKK are ignorant hatemongers who want to eliminate anyone who isn't like them.\n\nBloods and Crips kill each other.

The Treaty of Versailles imposed huge reparations payments on Germany for the damage that was done to France during WW1. The payment of this debt, at the expense of the German standard of living, and the ensuing hyperinflation played a large role in the rise of the National Socialist party.

In many ways, Reconstruction at the state level profoundly altered traditions of southern government. Serving an expanded citizenry and embracing a new definition of public responsibility, Reconstruction governments established the South's first state-funded public school systems, adopted measures designed to strengthen the bargaining power of plantation laborers, made taxation more equitable, and outlawed racial discrimination in public transportation and accommodations. They also embarked on ambitious programs of economic development, offering lavish aid to railroads and other enterprises in the hope of creating a New South whose economic expansion would benefit black and white alike. But the program of railroad aid did much to undermine support for Reconstruction. Spawning corruption and rising taxes, it alienated increasing numbers of white voters.

Blacks initially escaped to the North in slavery days, because as soon as they crossed over into the Ohio border, they were free, or could no longer be captured and returned to slavery.  It was with that same ideal that the blacks moved to the north 40-50 years later.  There was definitely more freedom and more opportunities since freed, or runaway slaves were already present there, and making a living.  The attitude of the northern states were also more accomodating to blacks.  In the south, there still lingered huge resident with the emanicipation, and with the civil war.  and there was a greater presence of racism.  ppl were more motivated to keeping the races seperate in the south; in the north, the motivation was toward progression, enterprise, and creating a more stable country.\n\nthe kkk are an organization that started to protect pride amongst a group of whites who believed their values were no longer being recognized, and that their supposed superiority was being made inferior, especially due to the rise of equality for blacks.  it's not an organization that can be easily understood without knowing that it's bordered in hate and inferiority.

Other than having "atomic bomb" drills when I was in school---like sitting in the hallway with my head between my knees and my hands over my head was really going to stop an atomic blast or protect me from radioactive fallout LOL-it was absolutely wonderful for me. We had the birth of "Rock-N-Roll", employment and secure jobs for all, and our depression-era raised parents made sure that we had things they had only dreamed about. A new car was $1000.00 and $10,000 bought a NEW 3 bedroom brick home in a nice neighborhood.\n\nBUT....I was a white child in the South...My Black friends of today experienced a totally different reality. Unemployment or employment at or below minimum wage.  Black women were lucky to find housekeeping jobs within a 2 hr bus ride for $5.00 per day.  They could not shop in white owned stores, eat in white owned restaurants, drink from the same water fountains as whites, go to school with whites, swim in city owned swimming pools with whites, go to most theaters (although some of the more "liberal" theaters would allow them to sit in the balcony), vote or run for public office, and stood the chance of being hung if they were so "uppity" as to try any of these things.\n\nHow was life in the 50's.....as with all things it was, and is, a matter of perspective.

So many things happened in the 20th century!\n\nTechnology boomed: If you don't have a cell phone, TV, or computer, you're seen as primitive.\n\nCivil Rights were established:  Women are much more independent now and have more freedoms.  Same with minority groups.\n\nGo with history.  Whatever historical event was important, there are social changes to follow.
