After the establishment of the Ku Klux Klan in 1867 the number of lynching of African American increased dramatically. The main objective of the KKK was to maintain white supremacy in the South, which they felt was under threat after their defeat in the Civil War. It has been estimated that between 1880 and 1920, an average of two African Americans a week were lynched in the United States.
That's in excess of 4000 people.

it isnt really known how many people the klu klux klan killed, for many killings occured beyond the media and public eye. as an estimate, you are looking at 1000-1500 black americans, im not sure about the rest....
