I think the Ku Klux Klan was definitely a group that witch hunted blacks. They went after all blacks no matter if they were children or adults. And to me personally not just the KKK did this but almost all whites in the South judged blacks by there color. The KKK had around 15 other groups that branched off from the main KKK. All did one thing, go after black organizations and blacks trying to get jobs, to try and keep them as slaves. The KKK killed and harassed many blacks that were innocent and did nothing at all tho these people. But because they were a different color they were treated differently. The KKK is still around today and now they have branched out and don't just go after blacks but other people that have different views then them even if they are white.

The Ku Klux Klan is a type of witch hunt. Their morals they followed were totally outrageous. They should have been stopped while they were in their prime. They were an evil group who killed because they believed blacks shouldn't have the same rights as whites.
I'm betting that the KKK was doped up on drugs, or at least used to never being sober because even with the thoughts of the day and age, blacks should have no problem exerting their rights!
The Ku Klux Klan is definitely a good example of another "witch hunt." I remember hearing many stories about the Ku Klux Klan when I was younger, and I always wondered why they killed for no reason. I realize now that they were witch hunters killing the people they want to get rid of
The Ku Klux Klan is a good example of a witch hunt. It has developed over many years but is not at its peak right now. There were moments in history where they did many horrible things. Over the years they've become more judgemental of different people. They fear differences so they try to eliminate them...thus the witch hunt begins.
I agree with the KKK as a witch hunt because here they are just killing and torturing people just because they are different from the members of the KKK. I think they also did it for enjoyment and that is was fun to them as well so calling the KKK is definally a witch hunt.
Not only did the KKK hunt blacks, they also hunted Jews, Catholics, disabled people (??), those people. Otherwise, this is definitely a witchhunt
The KKK is a great example of a witch hunt. I agree with Emily here, when we were younger we always heard kind of the sugar coated version (if there is such thing) of the KKK and what they did. But now as I get older I realize just how brutal they were. The KKK thought they were better then the people they attacked and killed, and got rid of them.
This is an excellent example of a witch hunt. The Ku Klux Klan were and still are the ultimate racists. I believe the Ku Klux Klan members should have been more sought after and persecuted. Also I would like to add that Andrew Johnson is probably the worst president in history.
The KKK murdered people because of race and values. That’s not right to discriminate against people that did nothing to you. Everybody has different values and opinions they shouldn’t be killed for what they believe in. This is definitely a type of a witch hunt.
Great example of a witch hunt. Persecuted for no reason, scapegoat, people die. Deja vu anyone?
The Ku Klux Klan was a brutal group that killed for really no reason. Just because they thought they were better than people. Yes it is a witch hunt to me.
The KKK is also a good example of a witch hunt because they were against anyone not pure caucasian/white, especially African-Americans. I can't believe that they are still around. I'm sorry, but they should all be persecuted because of the killings and the burnings. All members have done way too many crimes to get away with it.

This is a good example of a witch hunt. Thinking about the Ku Klux Klan makes me sad because they have killed so many inocent people for a stupid reason like the color of their skin.
I agree this was a witch hunt, and a big one. Something has to be wrong with people who could kill other people just because they don't look the same as you.
The KKK is a great example of a witch hunt. They hated and murdered people who were a different race then themselves, and believed they were better. They were all evil.
One of the greatest witch hunts in U.S. history. Murderers for and crime arrousers. Just because there skin is black, the only reason.
This is a good example of a witch hunt. The KKK went after all blacks with but one thought that blacks shouldn't be allowed the same rights as them.
The KKK is a great example of a witch hunt. They hated and murdered people who were a different race then themselves, and believed they were better.
The KKK is yes a witchhunt but I think that it is very stereotypical to think that all southerners prejiduced the blacks.
