The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) employed intimidation, violence, and terror to suppress African American voting rights, particularly during the Reconstruction era and the Jim Crow period. They conducted lynchings, threats, and physical assaults against Black individuals who attempted to vote or support voting rights. Additionally, the KKK engaged in voter suppression tactics such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and the intimidation of Black voters at polling places, aiming to maintain white supremacy and control over the political process. These actions significantly undermined the political participation and rights of African Americans.
