The first Ku Klux Klan, informally known as the Klan or the "Hooded Order" was created on December 24, 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee. The name was formed by combining the Greek word Kyklos (meaning "cycle", suggesting a circle or band of brothers) with the word clan. Klan members adopted masks and robes that hid their identities and targeted through night rides black or white Rebublicans.
