What things did the kkk do to frighten people and maintain power over non-whites?
The KKK were a very hateful group who considered everyone who was not white and Catholic “impure.” They killed many people who were not “pure” and separated many families. You can think of them like “American Nazis.” You could argue that these people were just trying to spread their religion and their pride, but they hurt/killed many innocent people. Today, they do not pose as much of a threat and do not kill people, so they are considered legal. But I believe they are just using freedom of speech to their advantage. Freedom of speech has been stretched too far. As for “maintaining power over non-whites” they didn’t. They were not trying to spread an empire of white people, they just believe that they are superior. They did frighten people and kill people, but they were never like a government. Sometimes they could control people in a way by saying if you do this I will kill you. Or sometimes, they would threaten the safety of people who were very close to the person who was doing some
