    The document summarizes racial intolerance and violence against black Americans, Native Americans, and immigrants in the 1920s United States. It describes how black people faced denial of basic rights, segregation, lack of access to education and healthcare, and were frequently murdered without consequence. Native American populations declined drastically due to conflicts with the government and efforts to destroy their culture and traditions through boarding schools. The Ku Klux Klan was formed after the Civil War to restore white supremacy through violence against symbols of black autonomy in the South. The second KKK in the 1920s grew rapidly under new leadership to millions of members across the country.
