The Ku Klux Klan

Ku Klux Klan 

The task was to write a text about the Ku Klux Klan. I chose this task because I find the Ku Klux Klan interresting. I think it is interresting because i would like to get a clear view how it was to live like an african american in the south part of the Unitet States in the 1960´s. 


The Ku Klux Klan is a group of people with members who are extremely racist. The hate black people because the black people were able to work for less money than the white people, so alot of white people lost their jobs. Because of this they saw black people as working animals without feelings.The Ku Klux Klan dressed up in white uniforms with a spiss white hat or hoods. The Ku Klux Klan is all about spreading the word about how bad black people are, and they did alot of killing as well. The Ku Klux Klan would for example wait outside a "black" church, and attack the black people when they came out of the church. They killed black people in many other ways as well, but this method was kind of special,  beacause they got alot of black people at the same time. This method was showed in the movie Missisipi Burning.  The Ku Klux Klan still exists today, but not in the same way as in the 60's. There is not as much killing that it used to be, but they are still spreading the word about how they feel about black people.
