The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) originally referred to a secret and violent white-supremacist organization founded by veterans of the Confederate Army in 1865, but it was disbanded by 1880. The original group opposed the reforms enforced on the South by Federal troops regarding the treatment of former slaves. A second distinct group using the same name was started near Atlanta in 1915. This second group existed as a money-making fraternal club and fought to maintain the ways of the past against increasing numbers of Roman Catholics, Jews, blacks and immigrants into the United States. This group, although preaching racism, was a mainstream organization with 4 million members at its peek in the 1920s. Its popularity fell during the Great Depression, and it was disbanded during World War II. The name Klu Klux Klan fell into the public domain. It was adopted in different forms by many different unrelated groups who opposed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960's. Today, the name is a symbol of hatred and intolerance to many, but is still used by some organizations.
