The KKK - The Best Club in the World

3,319 Klansmen were ultimately brought in as a result of the government's war in the KKK.

In 1877, the first Jim Crow laws were passed, bringing it into the brief period of time where southern blacks had a notable amount of political power. On our next episode, we're going to talk about the Phoenix-like resurrection of the KKK during the 1920s.
