research portfolio 10/8

Research question: what is the relationship between the actions of the Klu Klux Klan ad the definition of xenophobia?
My argument for this is that maybe the people that where involved with the Klu Klux Klan suffered from the illness xenophobia.  I feel like that is why the members of this group had acted the way that they did towards the African Americans. The fear that they had towards this group shows why they felt they had to do the action of trying to eliminate the different culture/race out of fear. The other sources that I think would be useful in my research are a lot of scholarly journals that touch on the subject of the Klu Klux Klan and the behavior that they show throughout the years.  I also think reference material of the xenophobia and the actions that people take will give me a better insight and a better support system to my argument. I feel like all my information has to come from that have been surfaced for years because I’m dealing with something that happens many years ago. The research has to very knowledgeable. So scholarly journals, reference materials, books and government paper work is the only thing that I feel will help me out. Others like television newspapers and magazines will not be useful to me.
