What is the KKK

The Ku Klux Klan employed terror in pursuit of its white supremacist agenda. One group was founded immediately after the Civil War and lasted until the 1870s. The other began in 1915 and has continued to the present. White supremacy is the belief that white people are superior to those of other races. 

1st rise of the KKK

In February 1915, the D.W. Griffith movie later titled The Birth of a Nation premiered in a Los Angeles theatre. Though considered progressive in its technique and style, the film had a decidedly backwards plot that glorified a short-lived, post-Civil War white supremacist group called the Ku Klux Klan. The movie’s broad release in March provoked riots and even bloodshed nationwide. It also revived interest in the KKK, leading to the birth of several new local groups that summer and fall. Many more followed, mostly in southern states at first. Some of these groups focused on supporting the U.S. effort in World War I, but most wallowed in a toxic mix of secrecy, racism, and violence. The film showed the KKK protecting white families against groups of black Americans who threatened violence and rape.

Early Issues

Early files show that the FBI had cases and intelligence efforts that were already beginning to mount in the years before 1920. A few examples include:

•  A  middle-aged Black man was arrested for draft dodging in May 1918 when he returned to persuade his white teenage girlfriend to marry him. A Bureau agent looking into the matter discovered that the local KKK had gotten wind of the interracial affair and was organising to lynch the man. 
• In June 1918, a Mobile agent named G.C. Outlaw learned that Ed Rhone—the leader of a multi-racial group called the Knights of Labour—was worried by the abduction of another labour leader by reputed Klansmen. “This uneasiness of the Knights of Labour,” our agent noted, “is the first direct result of the Ku Klux activities.”

Second rise of the KKK (1920s)

During the last half of the 19th century, two events served to set the stage for the Ku Klux Klan to be reborn early in the 20th century. The first was massive immigration, many Americans believed that the nation was being swamped by alien people. This organisation, a secret, oath-bound group, was especially strong in the Midwest, where the reborn Ku Klux Klan would later draw much of its strength. The other major event which prepared the ground for the Klan’s return was World War I, which had a wrenching, unsettling effect on the nation. On the European battlefields, white Americans again were exposed to unrestrained bloodshed while blacks served in the uniform of their country and saw open up before them a new world. Back at home, Americans learned suspicion, hatred and distrust of anything alien, 

What were the main belifs and what did they do? 

They believed that WASPs were the most important group within America and that black Americans were inferior.

 They discriminated against Catholics, Jewish people, divorced women, Socialists and Communists. The KKK opposed any groups who were not WASPs and threatened ‘the American way of life’.

They opposed any form of equality with, or civil rights for, black people.

What Did They Do? They held ceremonies and spoke in codes called ‘Klonversations.’ They tortured people who weren’t ‘true’ Americans. Victims were whipped, beaten, tarred and feathered, or lynched (killed without

Punishment? trial), and set fire to their homes.

3rd and final rise of the KKK (1950s and 1960s)  

The KKK name was used by numerous independent local secret groups opposing the civil rights movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. Several activists of the Third Klan were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers in Mississippi in 1964 and of children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham in 1963.

The Red Scare 

During the Red Scare of 1919-1920, many in the United States feared recent immigrants and dissidents, particularly those who embraced communist, socialist, or anarchist ideology. Key Aspects of the Red Scare:

Fear of Communism: The rise of communism in Russia, as well as the perceived influence of communist ideas among immigrants and labour movements, created a climate of fear and mistrust.

Post-War Economic Hardships: The economic downturn following World War I, coupled with increased labour unrest, further fueled anxieties about social and political instability.

Palmer Raids: Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, driven by his fear of communist infiltration, authorised raids on suspected radical organisations and the arrest of thousands of individuals, many of whom were later deported.

Sacco and Vanzetti Case: This case, in which two Italian immigrant anarchists were convicted of murder and executed, became a symbol of the broader Red Scare and the persecution of radicals during this period.

Anti-Immigrant Sentiment: The Red Scare was intertwined with anti-immigrant sentiments, as many Americans viewed immigrants as being more susceptible to radical ideologies. 

 

 

Right wing vs left wing 

Left-wing ideologies include social democracy, socialism, and communism, which advocate for greater social and economic equality.

Right-wing ideologies include conservatism and right-wing populism, which often emphasise traditional values and social order.
