The KKK was founded by the Democrats as a terrorist organization to resist the victorious Republican Party which had been founded as an anti slavery party and which had fought and won the Civil war to free the slaves under the leadership of that great Republican President Lincoln.

The modern day  KKK is a white suprematist organisation that is  anti Jewish, anti Catholic ( in fact every Christian denomination has been  condemned) neoconfederate organization that has  shrivelled and become a figure of ridicule...it has become a political ' donkey's tail' that is pinned on the backs of one's innocent political opponents.
