The Ku Klux Klan was a group of Confederate veterans and others who wanted to undo the government's Reconstruction actions in the South, especially things that protected black people's rights. They were against anyone not White, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant but especially black people. The KKK was prominent until the end of the 1800s but has existed ever since. The Civil Rights Act failed to ban the KKK when the Supreme Court decided the Act was unconstitutional. They had a negative impact on African Americans because they would torture and kill them and were overall very discriminatory towards them. The KKK slowed down equality for America.

It said that each African American family would receive 40 acres and mule to get them started and then they could buy the land; however, congress intentionally under-funned it. This didn´t help because Johnson gave back the land to the elite plantation owner.
