In conclusion, the Ku Klux Klan had a very detrimental effect on the United States, especially in the 1920s. However, the statement must be made that the members of the Ku Klux Klan truly believed that they were doing the country a favor when they were ostracizing and tormenting so many African American people as well as Catholics and Jews. They had a mind set that it was most important for them to protect the United States from anyone who might put it in harm’s way. The Klan killed many people and left many others in fear, so their actions were not, and never should be, accepted or thought of as beneficial. Members of the Ku Klux Klan believed that they were right to kill and torment people of the African American race, as well as other groups such as Catholics, because the Klan believed that African Americans were detrimental to the United States.
