The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was founded in the aftermath of the American Civil War and primarily fought for white supremacy and racial segregation. They sought to maintain white dominance in society, oppose civil rights advancements for African Americans, and resist the Reconstruction efforts aimed at integrating former slaves into American life. The KKK used intimidation, violence, and terrorism to promote their agenda and instill fear in marginalized communities. Their actions were rooted in a broader ideology of racism and nativism.
