24 déc. 1865 - Klu Klux Klan Founded
Description:
The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was founded in 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six former Confederate officers, including Nathan Bedford Forrest, who became its first grand wizard. Initially a social club, the KKK quickly evolved into a violent white supremacist group that used terror tactics, including lynching and intimidation, against African Americans and their allies to oppose Reconstruction and maintain white dominance in the South.Ajouté au bande de temps:
