Explain how the influence and reach of the newly reformed Ku Klux Klan differed from its 1866 iteration; why were these racist i

Neko [114]

The first Ku Klux Klan was a fringe group that started to grow and threaten both freed African-Americans and Southern Republicans. it was virtually eradicated by the laws (Enforcement Acts) that were passed by the federal government in order to fight its crimes.

The Iteration of the 1920s was based in a completely different situation. In 1915, David W. Griffith, one of the most important pioneers of modern cinematography in the history of film, released his film The Birth of a Nation, which was based on the highly racist novel of Southern author Thomas Frederick Dixon Jr.

Because of its visionary cinematic techniques and the talented and famous cast, the film was a resounding success and it stirred the racist and romanticized views of Southern white supremacists on the Civil War, Slavery and the first Ku Klux Klan. Of course, this second KKK was quite different from the first one in many aspects:

- Rituals that did not exist or were practiced by the members of the first one (the white hooded robes, the burning crosses, the open mass parades.

- A much bigger and better national organization with paid, full time employees, the selling of costumes and the new memberships.

- Its fierce hostility to not only African-Americans but to white Catholics, Jews, Italians and even Communists.

- its support of Prohibition which was in contradiction with the penchant of Southerners for alcohol.

All of these new "principles" were actually inspired by the film. Its cultural impact was so important that it inspired the resurgence of these racist ideas and their temporary legitimization during the 1920s.

Answer:

<h2> Lewis and Clark Expedition</h2>

<u>14 May 1804 – 23 Sep 1806</u>

The Lewis and Clark Expedition from May 1804 to September 1806, also known as the Corps of Discovery Expedition, was the first American expedition to cross the western portion of the United States.. It began in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,made its way westward, and passed through the Continental Divide of the Americas to reach the Pacific coast. The Corps of Discovery was a selected group of US Army volunteers under the command of Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend Second Lieutenant William Clark.

President Thomas Jefferson commissioned the expedition shortly after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 to explore and to map the newly acquired territory, to find a practical route across the western half of the continent, and to establish an American presence in this territory before Britain and other European powers tried to claim it. The campaign's secondary objectives were scientific and economic: to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to establish trade with local American Indian tribes. The expedition returned to St. Louis to report its findings to Jefferson, with maps, sketches, and journals in hand.
