Answer:

The Ku Klux Klan is the oldest hate group in America, it was created by a group of southern veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee. The purpose of the KKK was to be a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for Black Americans. It is still around today, just not at the same magnitude as it previously was.
