In the name of preserving law and order in a white-dominated society, Klansmen punished newly freed blacks for a variety of reasons, including behaving in an "impudent" manner toward whites. They whipped the teachers of freedmen's schools and burnt their schoolhouses. But first and foremost, the Klan sought to do away with Republican influence in the South by terrorizing and murdering its party leaders and all those who voted for it…in outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power...” It was all about change, evolving and becoming better then what the country was about, at that time.

How does that even happen? What’s even worse than that is whenever a person that is brown or is Islamic commits a crime; it’s an “act of terrorism” and blame Islam and its teachings.
