What did the ku klux klan do to abuse African Americans?

Answer 1

They linched them.

This is affectivly attacking them/hitting them with rocks, wood, galls, anything they could find really!! they would even kick them!! If they then did not die, they would be hung..

Linching was considered a social event. It was what everyone at the time was into, like now a days it might be a certain band or hobby, but to them it was considered ''cool'' to attack blacks. they were considered repugnant and evil. that's why their churches were burnt. but now a days this is considered hippocritical. If they were real christians, would it matter wheher one person skin was darker than the other??
