No. The Ku Klux Klan burning a cross symbolize does not symbolize a declaration of war. A burning cross was used in Scotland to signal a declaration of war and thus to draw the clans together to form an army. A variant of this was used as late as 1812. The Klan's burning of a cross is used to intimidate people. Some Klan members claim that it is an illumination of a cross to symbolize the members' faith. Others reference the Emperor Constantine's vision of a burning cross that led to his conversion to Christianity.
After World War II, attempts were made to resurrect the Ku Klux Klan, but state laws, and ideological splits within the group led to failure. The civil rights activities of the late fifties and early 1960s led to its revival. Several murders and terrorist attacks were linked to the Klan during the period.
