The correct answer is D jam
The correct answer is D) restoring southern Democrats to political power.
To arrive at this answer, it helps to understand the historical context of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) during the Reconstruction era in the South. The Reconstruction period followed the American Civil War and aimed to rebuild the Southern states, address the issues of slavery, and integrate newly freed African Americans into society.
The KKK was a white supremacist group that emerged during this time. Their primary goal was to restore power to Southern Democrats, who were predominantly white and had lost political control during the Civil War and Reconstruction. The KKK used violence, intimidation, and terrorism to oppose the political and social advancements made by Republicans, who were advocating for civil rights and voting rights for freedmen (former slaves).
Therefore, the correct answer is D) restoring southern Democrats to political power. This aligns with the KKK's objective of undermining Reconstruction efforts and preventing social and political progress for African Americans.
