What was the pure of the KKK?

The primary aim of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was to promote white supremacy and maintain the social, political, and economic dominance of white Americans, particularly in the Southern United States. Founded in the aftermath of the Civil War, the KKK used terror, violence, and intimidation against African Americans and other minority groups to resist civil rights and maintain racial segregation. Its activities included lynching, burning crosses, and other acts of violence aimed at instilling fear and suppressing the rights of those they targeted. Over time, the Klan's ideology has evolved, but its core mission has remained centered on promoting hatred and bigotry.
