Why did groups like the KKK form?
Alik [6]

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 Black Americans. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and Black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s.

After a period of decline, white Protestant nativist groups revived the Klan in the early 20th century, burning crosses and staging rallies, parades and marches denouncing immigrants, Catholics, Jews, African Americans and organized labor. The civil rights movement of the 1960s also saw a surge of Ku Klux Klan activity, including bombings of Black schools and churches and violence against Black and white activists in the South.

Founding of the Ku Klux Klan

A group including many former Confederate veterans founded the first branch of the Ku Klux Klan as a social club in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1865. The first two words of the organization’s name supposedly derived from the Greek word “kyklos,” meaning circle. In the summer of 1867, local branches of the Klan met in a general organizing convention and established what they called an “Invisible Empire of the South.” Leading Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest was chosen as the first leader, or “grand wizard,” of the Klan; he presided over a hierarchy of grand dragons, grand titans and grand cyclopses.

Why did the Tokugawa shogunate close Japan to foreign influence?
otez555 [7]

Prevent the spread of western ideas in particular Christianity.

As Europeans were exploring Asian countries with the goal of creating trade agreements, many areas were experiencing a push of western culture. To prevent the influence of western culture, the Tokugawa Shogunate refused westerners and made western culture unlawful. Christianity was considered particularly harmful to Japanese culture and hierarchy. The Shogun removed missionaries from the country and made the practice of Christianity illegal. The samurai also resented western influence because it promoted the status of merchants and degraded their own position in society.

Name the peninsula in Europe that had greek colonies that were the farthest away from mainland greece
Travka [436]

The correct answer is - Iberian Peninsula.

The Ancient Greeks were constantly traveling and trading across the Mediterranean and the surrounding seas. As they were doing that, they gradually made their own little colonies, all of which on the coastline. They made small colonies in what is now Turkey, in Crimea and most of the coastline of the Black Sea, Italy, Sicily, France, North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula. They made two colonies on the Iberian Peninsula, one of which was near modern day Valencia, while the other came out on the Atlantic Ocean, near the modern day border between Spain and Portugal, which was actually the colony that was also the furthest away form the Greek city-states in Greece.
