Ku Klux Klan. Neo Nazis. The Aryan Nations. The American Nazi

Party. What are these groups? Why are they present in a land of

supposed equality of all men? They are there because there are

millions of Americans that believe in their message of white

pride. The African American population is growing and Americans

are now a mixed group of people. Black people are white people's

which accounts for their costumes and masks. They, like most

whites, were upset that the black people were free because black

people were a constant reminder of the bitter defeat of the

South. So to have fun they terrorized black people. Eventually

the group grew, fluctuating, but grew to become the first white

supremacy group in America and with that growth, their hatred

grew as well into what was seen in the early and middle 1900's

and what is seen today.

Along with the KKK, other anti-black, pro-white groups formed
