How was the forming Klu Klux Klan related to reconstruction

From 1868 through the early 1870s the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) functioned as a loosely organized group of political and social terrorists.

They were more successful in achieving their political goals than they were with their social goals during the Reconstruction era.
