Explanation:

The Ku Klux Klan was a white supremacist group active in the U.S. South after the Civil War. Its core mission included using violence, intimidation, and terror to suppress African Americans, preventing them from exercising their newly gained rights (such as voting and equal treatment). Options A, B, and C are incorrect: the Klan operated in the South, opposed federal occupation, and worked against (not to enforce) the 15th Amendment which protected Black voting rights.
