Klansville

As I watched the movie Klansville of the U.S.A., I never realized how big the KKK was in my own state of North Carolina. The KKK became very known in Raleigh which resulted in their name of Klansville by Bob Jones. Bob Jones was the Most successful Grand Dragon and was threatened a possible jail sentence. He was known as the most successful because he grew the Klan from a few friends to thousands of members. The Ku Klux Klan has developed during the civil war. The members would dress up in elaborate costumes and try to terrorize freed slaves. Word got around about the KKK and they became more violent. They threw people off bridges and hanged them. In 1915 a new Klan developed.
