The correct answer is False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ku Klux Klan was a group that emerged at the end of the 19th century and promoted hate and extremist ideologies, one of this was the idea that the white population was superior and the African-Americans, because of this the Ku Klux Klan led multiple attacks and murders to African-Americans, which was against civil rights of this population. Additionally to this, in some cases, this terrorist group was directly or indirectly supported by the state or political leaders which meant the Ku Klux Klan was authorized to act against blacks and vulnerate their civil rights. Therefore, it is false authorizing the Ku Klux Klan was one way the government attempted to give blacks the rights of full citizenship because the Ku Klux Klan was against this population and vulnerated their rights.
