The Ku Klux Klan did not want newly freed Blacks to vote because they wanted to intimidate them and keep them from positions of power. The Ku Klux Klan used many methods of terror and harassment to intimidate Blacks, but in 1870 the Enforcement Acts were enacted to prevent this.

The Ku Klux Klan is a white supremest group started in the South just after the Civil War. They felt that blacks should remain as slaves and resisted all attempts to give them civil rights.
There were three Ku Klux Klan groups. Republicans were the target of the attacks of the original Ku Klux Klan which formed in 1865. Since Republicans freed the blacks from slavery, blacks wanted to vote Republican, so the use of the Klan by the Democrats kept them in fear of voting. The second and third Klans were hate groups against blacks but also Catholics and Jews.
