Kansville USA

In class we watched a documentary called Klansville, USA. This movie was a documentary about the Ku Klux Klan in the USA when the membership increased a great amount, giving them over 10,000 members all across the US. Having majority of members in North Carolina the US gave the state the nickname of "Klansville, USA".

This Documentary goes into great detail about how the KKK started after the movie, The Birth of the Nation came out. The film made it seem as if the KKK's actions were okay and not only justified. This made people believe that the actions of the KKK were not horrible which convinced people to join the Klan again.

This movie was very interesting because I did not know about the movie that started up the KKK for a second time. Learning about all the details the horrific facts and amounts of the people who were in the Klan.
