What were the four main goals of the Ku Klux Klan?

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) primarily aimed to maintain white supremacy and racial segregation in the United States, particularly in the post-Civil War South. Their goals included intimidating and controlling African Americans and their allies, opposing civil rights advancements, and promoting a nativist agenda against immigrants and other minority groups. The KKK sought to restore what they perceived as traditional social order through violence and terror. Additionally, they aimed to influence politics and society by instilling fear in those who challenged their ideology.
