KKK came from the Greek word Kyklos which means Cycle/Circle.
This organisation's purpose was to re-establish the American government by showing the White Supremacy (considering oneself the most superior among others)
The clan was established by a Veteran of the Confederacy.The first branch was established in Pulaski, Tennessee.
From 1867 onward, Many African-American win the election in the South.
Then, The Klan started their underground movement of campaign against the African-American leaders and the voters of Republican Party.
For this movement, The Klan worked together with the Knights of White Camelia and The White Brotherhood because they have the same idea of racism and they are outnumbered by the Union supporters.
