// 29. //// Who are the KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN CIRCLE //
(Sheila) [|www.ask.com] The **Knights of the Golden Circle** (**KGC**) was a secret society originally founded to promote the interests of the Southern United States. It was to prepare the way for annexation of a golden circle of territories in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean to be included in the United States as slave states. During the American Civil War some Southern sympathizers in the North known as "Copperheads, were accused of belonging to the Knights of the Golden Circle. By 1863 many citizens and active politicians north of the Ohio River were members or were in similar organizations influenced by it.
