The KKK was started to reduce the influence of what was then the Republican party. In the days of Lincoln, the Republican party was the more Liberal party. The Democrats were working Conservatives, while the Republicans were wealthy Liberals.

Anyway, in the early days of the Klan, freed blacks were more likely to vote Republican. So in an attempt to curb the Republican influence, the Klan tried to scare (ie., terrorize) black folks into not voting.

When voting intimidation laws were enacted, the Klan shifted to other priorities such as curbing interracial relationships and illegal Immigration.
