The Ku Klux Klan is a white separatist organization in America that
supports racism. They rose from the ashes of the post Civil War to spread their
hatred towards minorities. At one time they were a highly active group with a
membership in the thousands. Over the years they have declined in numbers but
still practice their separatist movement throughout the United States.
The Handbook of Texas has published a more in-depth online biography
of history of the Ku Klux Klan in Texas at
