The KKK allegedly engaged in acts of killing and violence in order to intimidate African-Americans out of exercising the legal rights granted to them during Reconstruction. It disbanded when its leaders were convinced that it had achieved its goals, but it was later re-established. Nowadays, it still exists as a number of disconnected, if not opposing, splinter groups, some of which may even contain some of the very people they tend to oppose. The few remaining Klan chapters tend to each call themselves a part of the "true Klan," all while accusing members of other Klan chapters of being gay, Jewish, or in physical relations with African-Americans.

What many don't realize is that there is currently no centralized Klan and that ANYONE can adopt that name, including those who oppose or who have infiltrated the movement.

What stoped wegener from proving that the continents were once together?

One key factor that stopped Wegener from fully proving his theory of continental drift was the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, Wegener faced resistance from the scientific community who were skeptical of his ideas based on the limited evidence he presented at the time. Lastly, the technological advancements necessary to provide compelling evidence for his theory, such as satellite mapping and deep-sea drilling, were not available during Wegener's time.
