User:Feoffer/sandbox Anti-Fascism in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 1941, Anti-Fascism has been a mainstream, centrist political position shared across the political spectrum in the United States. Scholars argue that American Anti-Fascism has its origins in the aftermath of the US Civil War with organized Federal actions against the first Ku Klux Klan.
After the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I, Fascism experienced a resurgence, both Italy and Germany but also in the United States where the second Klan, rose to national prominence as an Anti-Black, Anti-Semitic, Anti-Catholic group.
