Answer:
Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underaround campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders.
Explanation:
The original Klu Klux Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee on December 24, 1865 by former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and other war veterans on the losing side of the Civil War, as a backlash during the Reconstruction period when people in the southern states were forced to change their lives.
Free slaves who dared to leave the plantation and even land speculators from the north (Carpetbaggers) were hunted, as they considered that the land in the south would be owned by those who lived there. Terrorism and murder were the methods.
The clan was dissolved by Ulysses S. Grant in the early 1870s through the Civil Rights Act of 1871.
When the Union withdrew its troops in 1876, the clan gained power in many states, and could instead use politics to oppress the dark-skinned population.
In 1756, the Seven Years' War pitted the relatively tiny population of French colonists against the much greater number of colonists in British-held America. New France ended with France's defeat in the Seven Years' War, and its holdings were handed over to the British in the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
