With its long history of violence, the Klan is the most infamous — and oldest — of
American hate groups. When the Klan was formed in 1865, it was a single, unitary
organization. Today, there are dozens of competing Klan groups. Although black
Americans have typically been the Klan’s primary target, it has also attacked Jews,
immigrants, homosexuals, and Catholics.
