At the end of the civil war former slaves were given citizenship, voting rights, and protection under the laws. Many southern whites didn't like the emancipation of slaves and to scare them the KKK began as "night riders" in sheets so they could look like ghosts of confederate dead. Imagine that you are sleep in the middle of the night and men ride up in sheets with torches and call you out of your house. They wanted to make sure that the former slaves knew that they were still less than the white man and to keep them from voting, attending schools, and owning land. The people who join the KKK ( it still is around) are bigots and bullies.
