There were essentially three different Klans. The first, formed right after the Civil War, persecuted freed African Americans and those who supported their rights. The second, commonly called the Klan of the 1920s, also persecuted African Americans and some immigrants but also moonshiners and bootleggers. The third Klan, that of the 1950s and 1960s, persecuted African Americans and those who promoted their civil rights.
