What is the Ku Klux Klan

History

The Ku Klux Klan was a racist terrorist group founded after the Civil War.

Details:

The Ku Klux Klan began in 1866 in Tennessee as an organization of Confederate veterans of the Civil War.  They derived the name "Ku Klux" from the Greek word κύκλος (<em>kuklos) ,</em> which means circle.  The group became a resistance movement against radical Reconstruction in the South, seeking to intimidate blacks and restore white supremacy.  The group carried out many acts of extreme violence, and acts in Congress and a decision by the Supreme Court <em>(United States v. Harris, </em>1882) went against the Klan.  By that time, though, the Klan had mostly stopped operating because it had pretty much achieved its goal:  white dominance in the South.

A revived version of the Klan appeared again beginning in 1915, expanding its target beyond blacks to Jews and others.  At its height in the 1920s, this revived version of the Ku Klux Klan had more than 4 million members.  Today it is a fringe group in the US, with only a few thousand members.

Whot was an effect of Great Society programs on Native Americano?
ser-zykov [4K]

<u>Answer:</u>

An effect of Great Society programs on Native Americans was that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Indian Civil Rights Act in 1968.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The then President focussed on helping the Native American Tribes and considered that Indians were one of the vulnerable groups that needed help. This act granted Indians in America equal protection of the law. He addressed the National Congress of American Indians in January, 1964. So, Indian tribes were part of his “war on Poverty” program. The "war on Poverty" was part of Johnson's plan to create a prosperous nation, a place where the significance of the existence of man corresponds to the masterpieces of the effort of man.
