How the Ku Klux Klan began I PART 1 | SLICE WHO

In the ruins of the American Civil War, a small circle of Confederate veterans created a secret order that would become the country’s oldest terrorist movement. What began as a “fraternal joke” in Tennessee quickly turned into organized intimidation, political violence and racial terror across the South. Through historians, archives and testimonies, this episode retraces the origins of the Ku Klux Klan and the myths it built to justify its power. From Pulaski to Washington, we follow how a handful of men shaped a fear-driven empire that influenced American society for decades.
