In the book Darby, my 5th grade class is learning about the scare tactics the members of the Ku Klux clan used to show their dislike for blacks and anyone who would help blacks. Today, we are beginning our webquest of the KKK to further understand the power they had during the 1920s.

Research the following site <a href="http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAkkk.htm">http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAkkk.htm</a> to find the answers to the following questions:

1. When and where was the first KKK started?

2. Why was the Klan started?

3. What was the Ku Klux Klan act and what did it do?

4. Slowly after the 1930-40s the Klan started to die off. What sparked the uprise of the Klan in the 1950s?

5. Identify at least 3 separate incidences that the Klan participated in. (Name what they did and what consequences/not happened to the Klan)
