The KKK is the Ku Klux Klan. They are a group of white (usually men) people that used to try to keep Blacks from voting. That was back around when Lincoln and Jackson were president. Blacks were so intimidated by them that once they did have the right to vote, htey never did.
they passed the poll tax, literacy tests, and grandfather clauses to prevent African Americans from voting. Also, the white southerners formed clans like the KKK to prevent blacks from voting.
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.
They scared, shot and even killed some blacks who tried to vote. They would also chase off blacks who came near the voting ballots.
The correct count can only be guessed at as many Blacks were de facto barred from voting by such devices as Poll Taxes, which assumed certain minimum incomes. Also the influence of the KKK is not to be minimized.

Blacks

The KKK would use fear of them as a weapon against the black people. They would stop them from voting by waiting outside voting Boothe's and beating any black person who approached. They would burn the black sharecroppers harvest so they had no way of making a living and possibly die of starvation.
Yes, the KKK wanted blacks to remain slaves. Violent upheavals occurred when blacks began to fight for their civil rights.
