The goal of the Ku Klux Klan during Reconstruction was to undermine the policies of the Republican state governments. The KKK aimed to use violence and intimidation tactics to suppress the newly freed African Americans and their white allies, in order to maintain white supremacy and undo the progress made during Reconstruction. The KKK sought to disrupt and dismantle the Republican state governments and preserve the Democratic Party's control.
