Andrew Johnson's group had the harshest reconstruction plan after the Civil War. This did not include any protection for people who had been slaves.
The secret group that terrorized Southern whites and blacks during the Reconstruction era was the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Founded in 1865, the Klan aimed to restore white supremacy and resist the changes brought about by Reconstruction, including the rights granted to formerly enslaved people. They used intimidation, violence, and murder against both Black individuals and white allies who supported Reconstruction efforts. The KKK's actions contributed significantly to the establishment of systemic racism and segregation in the South.
The continued existence of the Ku Klux Klan in the United States proves that racism still runs deep within the American people. This organization began during Reconstruction, gained power and visibility, and is now pushed underground but very much alive.
