The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of the KKK

Downfall and Resurgence of the KKK In life everyone has their ups and downs,and basically nothing is perfect. You can either try to fix what’s wrong or just leave it alone and move on. Well, the KKK had their downfall during the late 1870s. The KKK wasn’t really organized, they basically were just scrambled everywhere, they didn’t have spokesmen, officers, leaders, or even membership lists. I mean you could basically tell why the KKK died out during the 1870s, but here are other reasons why.
In the 1870s the KKK was dying out because it wasn’t really known. The KKK was founded in 1865 but as you could see it was founded after the Civil War, which meant that it wasn’t really stable. Everything was a mess in the South after the Civil War,

In the time of 1880-1920s it was the period of time where there was large population of immigrants. People were immigrating to the United States at that time. And not to offend anyone or anything but I mean immigrants are new to everything, they are kind of lost so it’s easier to bribe them to doing things since they don’t know what are the pros and cons of this doing. KKK members were recruiting and I guess their targets were the immigrants since they didn’t know much. By 1925, the KKK had an outstanding number of 4-5 million members in their Klan and it’s due to the incoming immigrants that was coming to the United States. With new immigrants coming, it meant that there would be an expanded variety of races that were going to be hated. The KKK expanded their groups of who they hated such as Jews, Asians, Catholics, and African Americans. The more they hated meant that the more killings they would do or anything harmful to those races which would give them jobs to do and not have them to just sit around. With the KKK members moving all over the place, getting known for committed crimes such as murders they have done, they would be more likely known, which means that their fame would expand. More people would know what’s the KKK and maybe more people would most likely join due to similarity of

If you look back to what I said on the first page, you see that technology hurted the KKK, but as times went on things changed and there was technology. There were telephones to contact members and to notify. There’s also a website to join the KKK. How crazy is that? Technology helped for the resurgence of the KKK, it helped get the word spread easier. KKK members didn’t have to reach up to others and talk to them face to face. I think talking to someone new face to face about the KKK could actually get them in trouble and if they get caught they could get into jail. And if more KKK members get into jail then there would be a downfall of KKK again, but they wouldn’t want that to happen, so I guess you could say “thanks” to technology they are able to spread the word and to have a
