The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) committed numerous acts of violence in Mississippi, particularly during the Civil Rights Movement. They were involved in lynchings, cross burnings, and assaults against African Americans and civil rights activists. Notably, in 1964, the KKK infamously murdered civil rights workers Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney, an event that drew national attention to the violent repression faced by Black citizens in the South. Their actions aimed to maintain white supremacy and suppress efforts for racial equality.
The KKK terrorized people with violence and much more commonly the threat of violence. This was very intimidating.

Some of the methods of the KKK were violence and threats against black people and white republicans.
The Ku Klux Klan was a violent and virulent organization that took as its central belief that only White Protestant Christian individuals had a right and privilege to live and govern in the United States. They proceeded to threaten numerous minorities, especially African-Americans, with violence. As part of these threats, they would leave burning crosses on the lawns of "enemies". They would also perform lynchings to murder innocent members of the minority groups and incite fear and further violence through such acts. In the Southern United States, from the 1880s to 1950s, the KKK was given almost free reign to sow unmitigated hatred and violence. The police oftentimes ignored or actively supported the KKK's acts of violence and terror since many Southerners were of the same mentality of human inequality that the KKK espoused.
