Answer 1

Answer: Whites still wanted a clear social divide between African Americans and themselves.​

Explanation:

After the Union defeated the Confederacy and brought an end to the scourge of slavery, a lot of whites in the South were unhappy that those they considered enslaved now had equal rights with them.

As they couldn't take it, they formed secret societies to terrorize African Americans and remind them that whites were still superior. The work of these societies therefore showed the world that a lot of whites still wanted to be segregated from black regardless of their political status.
