The KKK
The KKK of the 1920s was strongest in Indiana.
The KKK came to an end in the 1920s through corruption from within the Klan itself and society. The Klan's more violent activities (such as lynchings, robbings, and burnings) started to offend the conscience of Americans and membership decreased. That, along with numerous accounts of fraud, sexual scandals, accusation of crimes, and money mishandling led to the demise of the KKK.
The "KKK of the 1920s," established in 1915, called itself the Ku Klux Klan or KKK.
KKK
The KKK actively recruited members in the 1920s. Later, Sen. Harry Byrd would become a KKK recruiter.
A number of factors led to the emergence of the second KKK or KKK of the 1920s. The film "Birth of a Nation," the controversies surrounding alcohol prohibition, a red scare, rising immigration, and rapid social/economic changes in society all contributed to its rise.
The KKK is a secret organization. However, there were KKK groups in Pennsylvania is the 1920, largely because of its staunch support of National Prohibition.
The KKK re-emerged in the 1920s largely but not entirely, to promote and illegally enforce National Prohibition.
A movie called Birth of a Nation was part of what causes the reemergence of the KKK in the 1920s. Another reason for the reemergence was the changes in the country, some did not like these changes.
