Here is information for both perspectives:

Agree with Patriot Act:
The Patriot Act allows the federal government to more easily monitor individuals who could cause harm to other citizens. The expanded rights given to government agencies such as the FBI allows them to fight terrorism and stop a catastrophic event before it happens. Even though it gives the government and law enforcement agencies more freedom to examine records without a warrant, if you are a law abiding citizen then it does not matter what the government can see.

Disagree with the Patriot Act
The Patriot Act can be seen as violating different rights guaranteed to American citizens in the Bill of Rights. For example, the federal government now has the ability to search a person's home or business without a warrant or their consent if they are suspected of organizing terrorist activities. This is a serious violation of the fourth amendment, which states that there needs to be a warrant present in order to search a home.

Why did the
harina [27]

Answer:

White supremacist paramilitary organizations, allied with Southern Democrats, used intimidation, violence, and assassinations to repress blacks and prevent them from exercising their civil rights in elections from 1868 until the mid-1870s. The insurgent Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was formed in 1865 in Tennessee (as a backlash to defeat in the war) and quickly became a powerful secret vigilante group, with chapters across the South. The Klan initiated a campaign of intimidation directed against blacks and sympathetic whites. Their violence included vandalism and destruction of property, physical attacks and assassinations, and lynchings. Teachers who came from the North to teach freedmen were sometimes attacked or intimidated as well.
