The Ku Klux Klan was formed to stop newly free slaves from voting and fromhaving a political life all together.

They formed during the reconstruction era and were a form of white terrorism.

They burned crosses and burned churches. They teached new members they had to kill one person before joining. The kuklux klan was a very very racist group.

They did not think that black, Jewish, and Cathlic were below AVG. They did not want those people and they always abused them if they see them in public or where ever the KKK are.
