The violent actions of the Ku Klux Klan were largely done for political purposes against freedmen and their white allies. By the 1880s the tone had shifted to indiscriminate lynching of blacks as a form of oppression and terror.

Where did Lynching begin?

Lynching in the United States primarily began in the late 19th century, particularly after the Civil War during the Reconstruction era.

The practice was used as a means of social control and instilling fear in Black communities, particularly in the Southern states.
