Answer:

after seeing d.w. griffith's film <em>birth of a nation </em>simmons revived the klan.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

A major reason for the formation of groups like the National Congress of American Indians was to show the Whites that lived East of them that they were not the "savages" that they were as depicted by the newspapers, and that they can adapt and become like the whites.
