From one flaming hill to another racial prejudice and subsequent retaliation fired the mine hills. The KKK targeted foreign immigrants, Hebrews and American Africans as extremist religionists tried to frighten the hard working miners.
This is a little known history of the United States. But the racist hatred of the KKK is still haunting America in more ways than pointed hats and white sheets. Any extremist gang whose racial hatred causes violence and terrorism is not good for America the beautiful.
