The Ku Klux Klan hung or slaughtered black people due to their skin color. The white supremacists believed that black people were inferior and barbaric, and that they didn't know how to properly live.
The blacks who had been slaves prior to the Civil War represented an economic threat beyond their loss as cheap labor. In times of hardship and limited resources, the advancement of blacks (promoted by Congress and the North) meant less for the white population. As with many other cases throughout history, the blacks and whites were two competing economic groups. One was historically impoverished, and the other one made so by the War. The fact that most ex-slaves were easily distinguished from whites made racism simple to practice, as was the segregation that followed in its place.

∙ 9y agoThe Ku Klux Klan was formed as a terrorist group aimed at attacking and intimidating Blacks so that they would not pursue their voting rights and white supremacy would continue to rule the south. Lynching was the most popular form of killing for the Klan because it enabled them to leave the body hanging from the tree to serve as a warning.
