Answer:
Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party's Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underaround campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders.
Explanation:
The original Klu Klux Klan was founded in Pulaski, Tennessee on December 24, 1865 by former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and other war veterans on the losing side of the Civil War, as a backlash during the Reconstruction period when people in the southern states were forced to change their lives.
Free slaves who dared to leave the plantation and even land speculators from the north (Carpetbaggers) were hunted, as they considered that the land in the south would be owned by those who lived there. Terrorism and murder were the methods.
The clan was dissolved by Ulysses S. Grant in the early 1870s through the Civil Rights Act of 1871.

This was motivated by the violence and discrimination against African Americans despite the end of slavery and the Reconstruction. Moreover, this group of African Americans called themselves "Exodusters" as this event was an exodus or departure as it occurred in the Bible with Hebrews. Also, African Americans were looking for the "promised land" or a better place to live, which makes them consider themselves similar to the Hebrews in the exodus.
Because the Democratic vote was spread so thin, Republican Abraham Lincoln defeated Douglas, Breckenridge, and Bell in the 1860 presidential election. The Democrats' split had defeated their own party.
