In 1929 the stock market completely crashed which followed through all the way until 1939. This caused investments, consumer spending and many more causes which eventually led to businesses to declining rapidly and not being able to afford worker paychecks. This means that workers were getting laid off every day and by 1933 there were 15 million Americans who did not have jobs and banks failed, but the main reason the great depression was this bad was because nobody could find a job and the streets were flooded with unemployed workers that needed to take care of their families.

These Civilians had relocated because of uncivilized problems in their jobs, harsh living conditions, and segregation laws that prevented African Americans from having a chance at the, "American Dream" The migration process lasted from 1916 to 1970, and during this time period the war was in process which gave African Americans another opportunity when they headed North. The Great Migration affected the U.S as a whole because many people had to fight for their lives and the fact that 6 million individuals of African American Community had to migrate just to live their lives shows that this time period was hard for them and that the U.S was not on their side.

The Organisation was best known for its strong hatred to republicans and Blacks, as the Klan proposed threats and intimidation, they also acted upon these threats. The Klan would terrorize African Americans, murdering innocent men, women, and children. According to history.com, the Klan would take part in acts such as "burning crosses and staging rallies, parades, and marches denouncing immigrants, Catholics, Jews, African Americans and organized labor." The Klan had leaders, sort of like Generals, one of the leaders name was Nathan Bedford Forrest and he was considered the Grand Wizard. The klan was bad for the country socially, because they picked a race and tried to scare that race, they made African Americans Scared for their lives, and intimidated them so they could not live their lives peacefully.
