It has never been gone. At times it is seen more than others, but hate doesn't go away. The last time I checked there were 43 hate groups just in CA so they are in every state. In the 1920's the KKK had so many members that they marched in downtown Washington DC and ran a man openly for president. A few years ago they lost a major law suit and that took the wind out of their sails for a time, but they have never gone away.

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.

Why were the KKK labeled as a terrorist group?

The original KKK was created specifically to terrorize blacks in the southern states, attacking those who dared get try to be "uppity" or "rise above their place." Later, when the KKK was revived in the 20th century, it added Jews and Catholics to its list of targets. The goal was to intimidate all of these unwelcome people, driving them from areas where the KKK was strong. In the southern states, the emphasis was always on terrorizing blacks, but in the north, the KKK gained strength in significant part because of anti-immigrant sentement. Many lynchings were attributed to KKK activity, as well as arson and bombings, frequently targeting black churches.
