The formation of the Ku Klux Klan was one of the major contributing factors to the long bloody struggle that was racism in America. The Klan is classified as a hate group, and throughout three summits in history forced blacks and other minorities to live in a fear that they did not deserve. The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 by a group of men including John D. Kennedy, Captain John C. Lester and Frank O. McCord, among others, in Pulaski, Tennessee. “The name was derived from the Greek word kylos, meaning ‘circle’. ‘Klan was added for the purpose of alliteration” (“Ku Klux Klan”).
Malcom X was not afraid to use violence as a tactic and based his actions on a "by any means necessary" foundation. Through an analysis of two famous speeches written and spoken by both radicals, it is clear that in the future they envision two very distinctive American cultures. For example, in his speech "The Ballot or the Bullet", (1964) Malcolm X criticizes the actions taken by the white population, abstaining from any efforts to appeal to their culture; in which his approach comes across very separatist.

Malcolm X vs. Dr. King “The Ballot or the Bullet” Malcolm X rejects the actions of the white without any attempts to appeal to. Rather than trying to integrate the black community into the white, he focuses on the complete separation of them he doesn't want the blacks to integrate into the white hotels he wants blacks to own the hotels. He believed that the black population had to break the cultural, economic, and political dependency. Malcolm X attacks the tendency of African-Americans to identify with White America and insists they identify instead with Africans, their ancestors. Malcolm X begins breaking down the bridge between Black and White America at the beginning of the speech, phrasing his sentences in such a way as to convince his audience of the fact that your place of residence does not determine who you are, and therefore blacks shouldn't identify with White America.
The novel written by Nancy Mclean “Behind the Mask of Chivalry” is based upon the history of the second KKK in the post-World War I era of the 1920’s, specifically in Athens, GA. Mclean writes about the many different levels of the Klan and how they played a key role in the south both politically and socially with their main focus on gender issues, the sexual revolution, and labor disputes. When one first thinks of the KKK they would imagine a brutal uneducated group of secretive racists with no mind for the law, however Nancy Mclean writes of much more. Although the KKK throughout the country were obsessively secretive by nature Mclean was lucky enough in having access to the records of the chapter located in Athens, GA. Part 1 of the book provides the historical information for the resurgence of the Klan by describing the economic and social conditions that were present after WWI, including the accelerated expectation for different races and genders. Part 2 explains the principles of the Klan and how members both interpreted and manipulated divisions among race, gender, and class. Including also how they employed terror tactics to enforce those interpretations.
Political issue was one of the main causes of the Civil War. The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise in 1854, which proposed that the Nebraska territory be divided into the Kansas territory and Nebraska territory and that the settlers there ruled with popular sovereignty (Doc.7). Dred Scott sued for his freedom, since he argued his residency on a free soil land made him a free citizen. The court decided against him because slaves are property and had no right to sue (Doc.9). Another cause of the civil war was the actions of John Brown, who attacked on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.
