We will never know.

Unlike the new terrorist groups out today, the KKK hid behind bed sheets for fear of discovery. They didn't always take credit for their murders. Also consider that they didn't have sophisticated ways to publicize the terroristic acts like we do now. Even if they did, it would be a stretch to assume they'd be smart enough to know how to use them.
Plus, the era they were in full power was also during a time when the government didn't care about black lives (even worse than today, if you can imagine that). So they made little effort to track these things.
And you certainly couldn't expect the KKK to keep an accurate count once the number got past 10. According to the Huffington Post, a recent study puts the number at 3960. That's just for Blacks. Keep in mind that they also hated Jews, Catholics, Republicans (before the switch) and anything intelligent. So I expect the number to be at least 20% higher with everyone included. But this number still doesn't include the killings that we can't prove were done by the kkk. The cop murders where the cop was a secret kkk member
The FBI murders that never made sense
The random poisoning here and there
The dead Black body that was found on the road occasionally in the late 1800s
The strange fruit left to hang from trees in the late 1800s till the mid 1900s.
The many black Church bombings that no one claimed and the cops barely investigated in the early 1900s. So yes it's kinda impossible to know exactly how many.

Explain the U.S. reasoning behind the decision to firebomb Japan?
REY [17]

President Truman's reasoning behind bombing the cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, was to ultimately end the devasting war. He wanted to put an end to the agony that it had cause.

I do not agree with the decision to drop an atomic bomb on two (very populated) cities, however, it was not my decision to make, and was far before my time.  

The atomic bombs "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" resulted in approximately 105,000 fatalities, and 95,000 causalities.

There were four other alternatives to dropping the atomic bombs:

- Offer the Japanese conditional surrender by lifting some of the terms

- Wait for the Soviets to attack Mancharia and Korea (which were occupies by the Japanese)

- Naval blockade

- Invade the Japanese "home" islands

Unconditional surrender was <u>discussed</u> during the Casablanca Conference in 1943, and the US <u>demanded</u> for unconditional surrender in the Potsdam Declaration in 1945.

Egypt was a large kingdom. Describe some things that happened trying to run such a large country.
nataly862011 [7]
Well The Nile River flooded annually; this flooding was so regular that the ancient Egyptians set their three seasons Inundation, or flooding, Growth, and Harvest around it.

This annual flooding was vital to agriculture because it deposited a new layer of nutrient-rich soil each year. In years when the Nile did not flood, the nutrient level in the soil was seriously depleted, and the chance of food shortages increased greatly. Food supplies had political effects, as well, and periods of drought probably contributed to the decline of Egyptian political unity at the ends of both the Old and Middle Kingdoms.
