Why did the KKK covered their faces

Answers:
They didn't in the beginning. They only began covering their faces when they were forced to do so for social reasons.
In the beginning, the KKK was seen as a benevolent force in parts of the racist south. Later, when the popularity of the KKK was waning, the members, who were occasionally high ranking members of society, did not want the public to know that they were in the Klan.

For example, Alan owns a business, and he is also in the Klan. If Bob knows that Alan is a Klansman, he will not want to shop in Alan's store. So Alan wore a mask so that nobody would know that he is in the KKK.

The KKK were and still are dirty, cowardly, awful people.
