The Ku Klux Klan, or also known as the KKK, was a social club for Confederate Veterans that started in Tennessee in 1866. The club turned into a violent terrorist organization who killed thousands of men, women, and children. Their method was to prevent African Americans from exercising the white American's political rights. They would punish the African Americans by torture, such as burning them on a cross. Even today the Ku Klux Klan still exists.
