What were the goals of the KKK during reconstruction ?

PLEASE HURRY!

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.

Explanation:

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.

the quote by walter cronkite contributes to the central idea of the text by supporting the central idea. cronkite argues that what is deemed “right” for and in america may not be good for other countries. this supports the central idea of the text, that the vietnam war was unpopular in america for multiple reasons- including cronkite’s.
