Now, we'll later on find out later on down the line, in 1915, they pretty much go on to reorganize, okay? So, the Ku Klux Klan reorganizes in Stone Mountain, Georgia.

In Stone Mountain, Georgia, they actually have a carving of a Confederate Army veteran in the mountains as well to kind of show their superiority.

This was the birth of it once again, and from there it began to expand more and more and more.
