The organization founded by former Confederate Army officers in Tennessee in 1866 is the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). Initially established as a social club, it quickly evolved into a secret society that aimed to resist Reconstruction efforts and maintain white supremacy through intimidation and violence against African Americans and their allies. The Klan's activities contributed to a legacy of racial terror in the United States.
