what did the kkk do in the 1920s
Six Confederate veterans from Pulaski, Tennessee created the original Ku Klux Klan on December 24, 1865, during the Reconstruction of the South after the Civil War. The name was formed by combining the Greek kyklos (ÎºÏÎºÎ»Î¿Ï, circle) with clan.The group was known for a short time as the Kuklux Clan. The Ku Klux Klan in Washington State, from the Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project, examines the influence of the second KKK in the State during the 1920s.
