The Ku Klux Klan initially began as a social club and was formed by Confederate veterans at the end of the Civil War in Tennessee in 1866. This was an offensive and racist response to the newly freed blacks who used to be salves in the southern states of the United States with the objective of intimidating the black population and to restore white supremacy using violent tactics. This initial group tried to keep the black people sacred and under their control specifically so they would not enter political life or seek positions of power or in government in the community, This group was eventually dismantled by its leader Forrest because of its excessive violence and because its members would attack, hit, whip, torture and even kill black people or their supporters in night attacks. It also stopped operating because its original aim, to restore white supremacy in government and positions of power was achieved and there was no need for such an organization to continue. In the 1920's the Klan was revived by a preacher in Atlanta , Georgia. The reasons for this were patriotism and a fear of growing immigration, a nostalgia for the old south way of life and ideas like the ones coming from the Russian revolution where religion lost power and the people took control. This new revival resulted in a racist and violent organization closed and rejecting new immigrants or new ideas who react with intolerance and violence to what they see as different.
Answer:Obviously refers to the July 1932 eviction from Washington DC of unarmed US war veteran protesters and their families some 7000-15000 people who had come to protest their unemployment/ homelessness/ starvation and the non payment of their WWI veteran pay to the US government during the Great Depression.
After some violence had broken out the night of July 28th (the Washington police chief was injured and 2 protesters killed by police). The then President (Herbert Hoover) sent in army troops led by General Douglas MacArthur. Against the orders of the President to act with 'restraint' MacArthur attacked the protesters at night with cavalry, sabers, rifle fire, machine guns, and tanks, killing/ wounding 100+, then burned their tents to the ground despite the efforts of the Washington police chief and officers to protect the unarmed crowd.

The sentence which describes a cause-and-effect structure is the following: "Working on a wind turbine can involve hazards, such as falls, fires, or fatigue." (D).
A sentence containing a cause-and-effect structure means that you should have, in 1 sentence:
- an element being the reason for something to happen (the <em>cause</em>),
- an element being the consequence of it (the <em>effect</em>).
Here, the fact that people are working on wind turbines is the cause, because it leads to possible consequences: they can fall, trigger fires, or become fatigued (these are the effects).
