Why did the Klan target Freedmen’s Bureau schools, carpetbaggers, and scalawags?

The Klan used violence to resist Reconstruction and preserve white Southerners’ political and social control. Freedmen’s Bureau schools helped formerly enslaved people gain education, while carpetbaggers and scalawags supported Reconstruction, so the Klan viewed them as threats to white power. Choice B is incorrect because these groups were not supporters of secession; choice C reverses the Klan’s position on African American civil rights.
