The Ku Klux Klan was a group of people that were complete racists. They affiliated themselves with the Democratic party. They started in Tennessee in 1866 with a group of confederate veterans. They were against the Republicans because they were running the reconstruction of the country. Part of that mean that the blacks would ahem rights; they wanted to take as much power away from that party As the number of members in the group the more and more they became a violent terrorist organization. The main goal was to restore white supremacy. Over the years they would kill thousands of men, women, and children. Majority of the people killed were black but whites were also killed if they were found trying to educate or help them.
