Ku Klux Klan
Investigation of The Ku Klux Klan
1.0 Introduction
1.1 What is/are the issue(s) under discussion.
The issue is that if the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) should be watched. They are gaining a lot of members and gaining influences around the southern states.
1.2 Who are the organisations/persons involved.
The organisations that are involved were the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) and the groups they targeted are people who are not a white Anglo-Saxon protestant (WASP), such as blacks, new immigrants, Catholics, Jews and etc. The KKK leader or ‘imperial wizard’ is William Joseph Simmons.
1.3 What are the objective/aims of this report?
The significance of KKK is that they are a far right organization that promotes white supremacy, white nationalism and anti-immigration. They are fighting for ‘native white, Protestant supremacy. They expressed these ideas by terrorizing individuals that were not white and having different beliefs (usually Blacks). They are also anti- * Communist * Negro * Jew * Catholics * And they are against all foreigners
2.0 Process
2.1 Field Agents Report-
2.2 Newspaper Reports-
In 1926, in Kansas’s newspaper, the Klan described who they were fighting against
“… Every criminal, every gambler, every thug, every libertine, every girl-ruiner, every home-wrecker, every wife- beater, every dope-peddler, every moonshiner, every crooked politician, every pagan papist priest… every Roman controlled newspaper, every hyphenated American, every lawless alien…”
This is just saying who or what the KKK are fighting against and for. This helped them because many people have supported them in the early 1920’s.
2.3 Eye Witness Reports-
A man who seen claimed he had seen the KKK in 1920 at Atlanta
We saw white-sheeted Klansmen everywhere, walking about with their hoods thrown back, eating in restaurant. The road was a creeping mass of cars. They were draped with flags and bunting and some carried homemade signs with Klan
