The Ku Klux Klan or KKK were a fascist group formed in three different periods in history.

Explanation:

The Ku Klux Klan or KKK were a fascist group formed in three different periods in history. The first time the KKK appeared was from 1865 to 1871, the second time it was from 1915 to 1944 and the third time the Klan appeared in 1946 until the present days.

It has been a group that has gained integrants mainly in 1920's due to their idea of keeping the white supremacy in the country. The attack to the catholic church was based in the concept that the catholic church was growing and gaining adepts in the country as mandat of the pope in Rome who wanted to conquer the American land.

Besides, the KKK attributed several abuses from the church to the nuns such as rapes and tortures. These attributions contributed to the Klan gaining adherents, since this caused the image of the Catholic Church to deteriorate considerably. In addition, this made many people sympathize with the cause of the kkk in order to defend women's rights.

In 1924 the Klan became aware of the importance of politics for the movement, so they began to name klansmen in order to have enough political power to grow throughout the whole country. Indiana was one of the target states in which the clan began creating "the invisible empire" getting adepts to their ideology.
