1. What i know/ what i already know
Our ELA teacher ms.Kashipour told uo to research an I-Seach paper on gang's. This is becuase we are reading the book Outsiders which involves gangs. I am interested in the KKK so thats the gang i planned on doing. I remember watching about them on TV and thats how i now about them them a little.
Somethings i already Know about the KKK are that they wear white clothes, cardboard hats, they have a burning cross at their meetings, they dislike blacks but I dont know more than that.
Things I want to know about the KKK were more about what they wear because I dont know much about it, Where they meet, where they are located, what they do to blacks, if they are still in the world today, who is the leader, the symbols the gang uses, how you are suppose to get into the gang, are their rules in the gang?
2. The story of my searc
This is how i got my research and things i learned on the way and for it just say that i just went and researched it on my computer n stuff
3.The results of my search.
4. Reflections - what i thought about it.
The Costume of the Ku Klux Klan is perhaps the most distinctive feature of that organization, and is recognized worldwide. It is sometimes known as the 'Glory Suit' by those who wear it, and many pejoratives by the Klan's numerous opponents.
There badge :
The M.I.O.A.K. (Mystic Insignia Of A Klansman) is a red, round patch worn over the left breast of a Klansmans robe.
It has a large "X" in the middle with a "K" in each corner of the "X" for Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
Modern Day Ones:
The current organization has splintered, but a number of successor organizations use what is effectively similar costume. The major factions currently include the Imperial Klans of America, The Louisiana White Knights and the Knights of the White Camellia
There has been 3 different KKK Clans.
Info about first one:
The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee by veterans of the Confederate Army. They named it after the Greek word 'kuklos", which means circle. The name thus interprets as "Circle of Brothers." Although it never had an organizational structure above the local level, similar groups across the South adopted the name and methods.[citation needed] Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement during the Reconstruction era in the United States. As a secret vigilante group, the Klan focused its anger reacted against Radical Republicans and sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans. In 1870 and 1871 the federal government passed the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes. Prosecution of Klan crimes and enforcement of the Force Acts suppressed Klan activity. In 1874 and later, however, newly organized and openly active paramilitary organizations, such as the White League and the Red Shirts, started a fresh round of violence aimed at suppressing Republican voting and running Republicans out of office. These contributed to segregationist white Democrats regaining political power in all the Southern states by 1877.
second KKK
In 1915, the second Klan was founded and remained a small organization in Georgia. Starting in 1921 it adopted a modern business system of recruiting (which paid most of the initiation fee and costume charges to the organizers) and grew rapidly nationwide at a time of prosperity. The second KKK preached Americanism and purification of politics, with a heavy tome of racism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Communism, nativism, and antisemitism. Some local groups took part in attacks on private houses, and carried out other violent activities. The violent episodes were generally in the South.
The second Klan was a formal fraternal organization, with a national and state structure. At its peak in the mid-1920s, the organization claimed to include about 15% of the nation's eligible population, approximately 4–5 million men. Internal divisions, criminal behavior by leaders, and external opposition brought about a collapse in membership, which had dropped to about 30,000 by 1930. It finally faded away in the 1940s.
Third KKK
The "Ku Klux Klan" name was used by many independent local groups opposing the Civil Rights Movement and desegregation, especially in the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, they often forged alliances with Southern police departments, as in Birmingham, Alabama; or with governor's offices, as with George Wallace of Alabama. Several members of KKK groups were convicted of murder in the deaths of civil rights workers and children in the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. Today, researchers estimate that there may be approximately 150 Klan chapters with upwards of 5,000 members nationwide.
Today, a large majority of sources consider the Klan to be a "subversive or terrorist organization". In 1999, the city council of Charleston, South Carolina passed a resolution declaring the Klan to be a terrorist organization. A similar effort was made in 2004 when a professor at the University of Louisville began a campaign to have the Klan declared a terrorist organization so it could be banned from campus.In April 1997, FBI agents arrested four members of the True Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Dallas for conspiracy to commit robbery and to blow up a natural gas processing plant.
The KKK's Hobbys - Includes Killing Of Black People and Other Info - Original KKK
Klan members adopted masks and robes that hid their identities and added to the drama of their night rides, their chosen time for attacks. Many of them operated in small towns and rural areas where people otherwise knew each other's faces, and sometimes still recognized the attackers. "The kind of thing that men are afraid or ashamed to do openly, and by day, they accomplish secretly, masked, and at night." With this method both the high and the low could be attacked. The Ku Klux Klan night riders "sometimes claimed to be ghosts of Confederate soldiers so, as they claimed, to frighten superstitious blacks. Few freedmen took such nonsense seriously."
The Klan attacked black members of the Loyal Leagues and intimidated southern Republicans and Freedmen's Bureau workers. When they killed black political leaders, they also took heads of families, along with the leaders of churches and community groups, because people had many roles. Agents of the Freedmen's Bureau reported weekly assaults and murders of blacks. "Armed guerrilla warfare killed thousands of Negroes; political riots were staged; their causes or occasions were always obscure, their results always certain: ten to one hundred times as many Negroes were killed as whites." Masked men shot into houses and burned them, sometimes with the occupants still inside. They drove successful black farmers off their land. "Generally, it can be reported that in North and South Carolina, in 18 months ending in June 1867, there were 197 murders and 548 cases of aggravated assault."
Klan violence worked to suppress black voting. More than 2,000 persons were killed, wounded and otherwise injured in Louisiana within a few weeks prior to the Presidential election of November 1868. Although St. Landry Parish had a registered Republican majority of 1,071, after the murders, no Republicans voted in the fall elections. White Democrats cast the full vote of the parish for Grant's opponent. The KKK killed and wounded more than 200 black Republicans, hunting and chasing them through the woods. Thirteen captives were taken from jail and shot; a half-buried pile of 25 bodies was found in the woods. The KKK made people vote Democratic and gave them certificates of the fact.

Info On The KKK Clan
The Death Penalty
They are death penalty advocates, believing in the divine law. They believe that if you killed/ raped someone etc then you deserve the death penalty and you dont deserve the allownace of the freedom of having a court case.
Why they use the robe
Why The Robe and Hood?
One of the most controversial aspects of the Klan is the Robe and Hood. Like so many wonderful, and misunderstood things this too has been badly maligned, and sorely misused. Some have used it for evil, a disguise to hide their cowardice, and to lead the unlearned to think the Klan is to blame for whatever mischief that might occur. This type of thinking is foolish, no one would say because a mad man like John Wayne Gacy was a Republican, that all Republicans are such monsters, yet this sort of stereotypical thinking is all too common where the Klan is concerned. Most people are far too willing to believe the worst of things they do not understand, out of fear, or superstition they image all sorts of things, and those who would oppose our purpose, live for a chance to promote their agenda, fear is a powerful motivator. It is historical fact that men dressed as Indians dumped tea into Boston Harbor, (The Boston Tea Party) yet no one even then, assumed because the men wore Indian garb they were Indians. Yet today a person found in a garment remotely construed as a Klan styled robe is proclaimed a Klansman.
