Ku Klux Klan (jan 1, 1915 – jan 1, 1944)

Description:

2nd KKK from 1915-1944. In 1915, the second Klan was founded atop Stone Mountain, Georgia, by William Joseph Simmons. While Simmons relied on documents from the original Klan and memories of some surviving elders, the revived Klan was based significantly on the wildly popular film The Birth of a Nation.
