According to General Thomas, the purpose of the Ku Klux Klan was to maintain white supremacy and undermine the rights of African Americans during the Reconstruction era. The Klan sought to intimidate and oppress Black citizens and their allies, using violence and terror as tools to restore the pre-Civil War social order. Their actions were aimed at reversing the progress made towards racial equality and asserting control over the Southern states.
