Ku Klux Klan
As mentioned earlier, there were some negative results of the Reconstruction. Because one of the main goals of Reconstruction was to grant blacks their civil rights, the Ku Klux Klan emerged. Their goal was to prevent blacks from voting and to take away the civil rights of blacks'. They were a secret society located in the south. They also targeted Radical Republicans who were working against their cause to try to guarantee the civil rights of blacks. The Ku Klux Klan was responsible for a multitude of tragic and horrific occurrences to blacks across the south. They committed all kinds of moral and legal crimes against blacks such as lynchings. The Ku Klux Klan members were America's first domestic terrorists and not something the U.S.A. should be proud of.
