Ku Klux Klan
The Ku Klux Klan arose again in the early 1920s, using terror tactics to intimidate former slaves. During this time period, immagration, fear of radicalism, and a revolution in morals, fueld the anxiety in large parts of the countires.
Roman Catholics, Jews, African Americans, and foreigners were the main targets of the Ku Klux Klans
Contributing to the Ku Klux Klan rising again was post-war depression in agriculture, the migration of African Americans, and religion.
During the 1920's the Klan helped elect 16 us sentators, many respresentatives, and local officials. By the time it was 1924 the Klan had its peak ammount of members and influence. The three million members of the ku klux klan were all very open about their activities.
Indictment and prosecution of many Klan-supported politicians on corrupted charges, led members to abbandon the organization in droves. The number of Klansmen in Inidnana fell from 350,000 to 15,000. By the end of the 1920's the Klan had just 45,000 Klan members.
