Answer:

The Klan emerged in a period of American history known as Reconstruction and began shortly after the end of the American Civil War. During this period, the southern United States reacted to measures advocated by Northern politicians to extend black civil and political rights in the United States.

Initially, KKK emerged only as a secret organization bringing together citizens of the local community, but because of the context of the events and the prejudice against blacks, Klan became an extremely violent group. Political scientists and historians characterize Klan as a far-right organization. This classification is based on an analysis of its ideology, which currently includes ideals such as white supremacist, Antisemitism, xenophobia.
