Abstract

The original idea of the Ku klux klan was born in the late 1865, in the minds of six young men -John Lester, James Crowe, John Kennedy, Richard Reed, Frank Mc Cord and Calvin Jones- in the quiet town of Pulaski, Tennessee. They were Confederate soldiers during the Civil War and were bored with their dull lives. So they decided to form a club that they named after the Greek term "kyklos" meaning circle of friends. But their rather innocent organization showed an incredibly fast growth and rise in popularity, so much that it turns into a craze murdering thousands of people, mainly Black. It is though difficult to put the blame of all the klan's activities on six people, that is why we should study in what political and geographical (with the narrowed scope of the state of north carolina) contexts it fits in.
