[quote=YINDUFFY,307330]The KKK (Ku Klux Klan) was originally a product of the Southern Whites upset at the ending of negro slavery. The newly freed slaves were terrorized by whites who hid their identity under masks and costumes in order to deny them civil rights. The KKK was (and is) also anti-Catholic and anti-Jewish. Great strides were made in Civil rights in the last years of the 1800's but under President Woodrow Wilson's two terms :1912-1920( he was from a Southern State, Virginia) civil rights slipped and the KKK was revitalized. The KKK was exclusively a Men's organization, as far as I know. Woman's rights organizations were part of the general human rights issue and they tracked civil rights for minorities. In the U.S. women were given the right to vote in 1919 by the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I'm sure that a casual internet search will come up with a lot of information on the KKK. Some of it shocking. [/quote]
