History of The Klan

| home

At the end of the War Between the States in April of 1865 marked the beginning of a terrible time of trouble for the White citizens who remained loyal to the southern states. This infamous chapter of American History is known as the Reconstruction period.

Although large portions of the south were untouched by military action during the war, the problems after the war touched all and were severe. Private homes and farms were burned, personal property seized, under the continuing state of martial law. Some of the seized property was given to some of the newly freed slaves, Who many feared would rise up in revolt at any moment. Many individual cases did occur, and the law turned a blind eye too often to be tolerated. It was a lawless time when street justice prevailed.

It was out of these dismal conditions that just and decent men of honor came together forming the Ku Klux Klan. Led by Nathan Bedford Forrest in Tennessee, by 1877 these courageous men had driven the federal troops back north. For a time they saved the white south from the tyranny of the federal government, the extortion of the carpetbaggers, the treason of the scalawags, and the hatred of the numerous renegade negroes.

Today we are seeing history repeat itself. Our land is once again being destroyed by the same treason. This time it is not only confined to the south, but it is affecting America as a whole. Now, even as it was then, when the original klansmen rode it started with a few good men willing to stand up for the betterment of their future.So white man what will we tell our children of future generations. Do you plan to spread the light of hope or extinguish it?
