The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a white supremacist organization founded in 1865. Initially, it aimed to advance the interests of the white population in the aftermath of the American Civil War. The KKK used violence, intimidation, and terrorism to promote racial segregation and maintain white supremacy in the United States. It targeted African Americans, particularly those who advocated for civil rights or challenged the status quo. The KKK experienced several periods of resurgence throughout history, with varying degrees of influence and membership. However, it has consistently been denounced for its racist ideology and acts of violence.
