Question 9 • NY-US History and Government A-CR
During Reconstruction, white supremacist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan used violence and intimidation to undermine Black freedom and Republican rule in the South.

Southern Democrats were generally not their target because they opposed Reconstruction too.
