The Ku Klux Klan targeted Republicans primarily because they were associated with Reconstruction efforts in the post-Civil War South, which aimed to extend civil rights to African Americans and secure political power for the Republican Party. Many Republicans, particularly those who supported racial equality and integration, were seen as threats to the Klan's white supremacist agenda. The Klan sought to intimidate and suppress Republican voters, particularly African Americans and their allies, through violence and terror to maintain white dominance and control in Southern society.
