Ku Klux Klan was a known racist organization that wanted to frighten the black population - the correct answer is"to restrict and frighten blacks from being involved in Southern governments"

The Black Codes were codes that restricted the rights of African Americans to work - so it's false that it allowed black people the right to vote without paying a poll tax. (this was the 24th Amendment)
