Biographical/Historical Note
The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremacist hate group targeting multiple groups of people, especially African Americans, in order to "purify" American society. There have been three waves of organization, existing from 1865-1871, 1915-1944, and 1944-present.The United Daughters of the Confederacy was established in 1894 to commemorate the Confederate cause and care for the widows and children of Confederate dead. In later years, they also worked on documenting related history, producing pro- Southern literature, offering scholarships to participants that met their standards, and supported the KKK. An auxiliary organization, the Children of the Confederacy, also exists and is sponsored by the UDC.
