What was the mission of ku klux klan?
To use the terminology of the times, meaning the years immediately after it's beginnings, the Klan's goal was to terrorize freed Blacks, prevent them from voting, and burn their churches. And to form lynching crews. The Klan also targeted any "White sympathizers", who tried to help Freed Blacks. Klan activity was based in the South. Later on, the Klan still existed, and the term Afro-Americans is best used to describe their main targets. The activities of the modern day Klan, up to about the early 1960's, was in line with past activities. Afro-American churches were burned, burning crosses were placed on the properties owned by Southern Afro-Americans.
How did the KKK serve the Democratic Party?
The KKK, in the form of the "First Klan" in the 1800s, served the Democratic Party by persecuting Republicans, intimidating them, killing them, and stigmatizing them. The KKK helped keep the South a one-party ("solid South") region for over 100 years, up until the early 20th century. Many people in the region at that time would only vote for Democratic Party candidates because of this history. In the early 20th century, the Klan sought out bipartisan membership, and this coincided with the Democrat party's becoming increasingly liberal, and the Republican party growing more conservative. Beginning in the late 1960s, conservatives in the South began to vote increasingly Republican because of that party's perceived conservatism. This was reflected in the election results for Richard Nixon in 1968. As of the late 1960s, there is no further reason for the association of the Klan with Democrats.

Compare and contrast the revival of the KKK with Marcus garveys unia movement?
The revival of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in the early 20th century was a white supremacist movement that aimed to maintain white supremacy and suppress African Americans through intimidation and violence. On the other hand, Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was a movement that promoted black pride, economic empowerment, and the idea of racial solidarity. While the KKK sought to oppress and terrorize African Americans, Garvey's UNIA aimed to uplift and empower them. Both movements had significant impacts on race relations in the United States during their respective time periods.
