The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a notorious white supremacist organization in the United States, known for its history of violence, intimidation, and racial hatred. Founded in the aftermath of the Civil War, the KKK has promoted ideologies of white supremacy and racial segregation throughout its history. Despite being outlawed at various points and experiencing periods of decline, the KKK's influence has persisted, leaving a legacy of fear and discrimination in American society. Despite efforts to combat its influence, the KKK remains a potent symbol of racial intolerance and a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice in the United States.
