What did the KKK do during the red scare?

During the Red Scare, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) capitalized on the widespread fear of communism and radicalism in the United States. They intensified their activities, promoting white supremacy and xenophobia while targeting immigrants, labor activists, and African Americans. The KKK positioned themselves as defenders of American values, using intimidation and violence to suppress perceived threats, which included organizing rallies, cross burnings, and lynchings. Their actions contributed to the climate of fear and repression characteristic of the era.
