∙ 8y ago
The Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups used violence and intimidation to keep Blacks from voting or participating in the social and political aspects of the Reconstruct Era and beyond. They caused many deaths and despite laws against their activities they remained a threat to freedom and well being of all citizens in the South that were trying to make a new start after the war. The Klan burned down Black churches, lynched Blacks with no real cause other than hate, and intimidated white people who did not agree with their violence.
