<h3 /><h3>What was the KKK?</h3>
It was a supremacist group.
It was a group formed by white men who sought to persecute and destroy black society.
It was a group that was born with resentment toward the end of slavery.
The KKK was a violent group that advocated supremacist ideas and pursued social eugenics. The group's violence was something that undermined the stabilization of black society and provoked terror in communities for racist reasons.
The advance of this group was worrying, particularly in the southern states where resentment over the ban on slavery attracted most young men to join the KKK.
