The pre-Colombian history of the New World can be divided into few periods, as we are talking about a very long period from the initial migrations until the contact with the Europeans.
For the first few thousand years after the migrations from Asia to the Americas too place, the people were mostly living a hunter-gatherer life. They were settled in one place, but instead they moved from one place to another in order to be able to get enough food.
Around 2,000 BC we have the first signs of the development of civilizations. The people started to practice agriculture, and that enabled them to settle as they had constant food source. Because of that, they had more time, thus they started to create pottery, later metals. They started to develop cities, construct infrastructure, build empires, get engaged into science.
Some of the civilization that are the most marking are the Mississippian, Mayan, Olmec, Muisca, Aztec, Inca, Nazca. The ones that existed when the Europeans arrived were all destroyed, and only ancient monuments and buildings witness for their existence.
The Ku Klux Klan of 1920s was a second KKK organized in 1915 as a mmore formal organization than the previous one, had registered memebers, a state and national structure. It had great popularity, as it had 4 to 5 million members. This populatity began to wane in the Great Depression of 1929 and during the Second World War, when some prominent members of the klan organized scandals to support nazi germany. This klan was founded with new anti-semitic and anti-immigrant objectives. Recruiters emphasized pointing out Jewish bankers, blacks, catholics or some others social or ethnic group as the cause of the problems of ordinary citizens. The kkk, in spite of remaining predominantly democratic like the previous one, managed to penetrate with force in the republican party, extending its influence to practically all the United States. In 1920s a klan faction called black legion was active in the midwest of the United States. The black legion wore black uniforms, instead of the characteristic white robe. It was the most violent faction of the klan, and gained notoriety for murdering socialists and communists.
Bearing this in mind, the practices carried out in the 1920s by members of the Ku Klux Klan can be described as organized, extremely violent, persecuting and discriminatory, with political and social interests.
In 1925 the kkk was a political force of considerable power in the state. In 1927 a wave of terror broke out in the state, where the klan attacked not only for racial reasons, but also for moral reasons that the kkk itself judged.
I hope this can help you. Greetings!
