The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) targeted African Americans primarily to uphold white supremacy and resist the social and political advancements that Black Americans made during the Reconstruction era and beyond. They sought to instill fear and maintain control over African American communities through violence and intimidation. Additionally, the KKK targeted ministers, especially those advocating for civil rights, as they viewed these leaders as influential figures who could mobilize and empower African Americans, challenging the Klan's racist ideology.
