The '''Alt-right''', or '''alternative right''', was a short-lived, loosely defined, [[right-wing]] faction and movement that began in 2008, and reached its highest prominence from 2015 to 2017, largely in connection to the rise of [[President Trump]], the [[2016 Presidential election]], and the 2017 ''Unite The Right'' rally in [[Charlottesville]], [[Virginia]], organized to protest the removal of the [[Robert E. Lee]] statue, as well as to give the alt-right more mainstream influence. Many racial hate groups were present, such as the [[Ku Klux Klan]] and Neo-Nazis. The event resulted in much violence between protestors, counter-protestors, and police, culminating in self-identified white supremacist James Alex Fields Jr. intentionally ramming his car into a crowd of people, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 35 other people.<ref>https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=%2Fg%2F11cjpdc0b5</ref>
