Ku Klux Klan
The Ku Klux Klan was a political organization that condemned equal treatment of Africans. The man who spread organizations of the KKK throughout Georgia was General Forrest. The KKK was created after the South was defeated in the Civil War. Many southerners were upset that they lost the war. The KKK's first act of terrorism was the killing of George Ashburn in Columbus Georgia. The acts were against Republican Politicians and Africans and African Americans. Many people were murdered and killed during this time.
