Confederate veterans and former plantation owners who were negatively impacted socially, politically, and economically resented what they considered the severe and unfair restrictions of Reconstruction. The KKK formed as a secret society to terrorize African Americans, Carpetbaggers, and Scallywags into submission. It worked for the repeal of Reconstruction, and, eventually led to the Jim Crow laws passed when Reconstruction ended.
