Read the quotation by Annie Hill below. She said the Ku Klux [Klan] used to come in by droves. She said the Ku Klux were all dressed in white—white caps and white hoods over their faces, and long white dresses. They come mostly at night . . . . Sometimes they would take people out and beat them and do ‘round with them. The quotation indicates that Ku Klux Klan raids terrorized and intimidated people. were basically harmless. happened during the day. were led by single individuals.
The Annie Hill quote shows how the KKK terrorized and intimated people. This is evident from the fact that she states "Sometimes they would take people out and beat them up and do'round with them." This quote shows one of the many tactics used by the KKK to scare/physically hurt African-Americans or politicians who agreed with giving rights to African-Americans. These tactics used by the KKK can be seen throughout the late 1800's all the way through the middle of the 1900's.
