The Ku Klux Klan and similar white supremacy groups were not a continuation of the US Civil War. They were formed by former Confederates who wished to terrorize Black Americans, kill them and any Republican supporters they could find. To a certain extent their goal was to bring back Democrat Party control of Southern states.

Much of the Klan's early activities were basically mischief and consisted of the Klan riding around during the night on their horses. One of the things that the Klan loved to do was put on a white mask, which looked ghoulish with only the two holes for eyes and the hole for a mouth, and ride up to a house where a black family lived and demand water. When the Klan member got the water he actually poured it into a hidden canteen. After drinking several buckets of water, he would exclaim he hadn't drunk anything since he died on the battlefield. Then he would ride away while the black family was thinking the Klan member was a ghost! While these things were harmless, the Klan was responsible for many more dangerous things, such as mobbing, hangings, and shootings. As the years went by, the Klan was getting weaker and weaker because the Blacks were getting stronger and stronger. Also the police forces got better around the mid 1940's. Many tried to bring the KKK back to full strength, but they failed. The Ku Klux Klan thought maybe they needed a new leader, but after a new leader and his death in 1949 the Klan got even smaller and was never as strong as they were in their first few years. Now there are still Klan members, but very few of them are still active because the kinds of violence they participated in before the 1940's would be severely punished today.
They would try to scare them back to going in to slavery and make them go back to their old masters. They used violence and harassment to scare people. They are even around today and try to portray them selves as being scary....
