The KKK was a social group and like most social groups of the time, it became widespread, especially in the deep South. Congress enacted several Acts that attempted to control the problem. One act, the KKK Act, allowed the authorities to arrest anyone that was seen performing KKK-like actions. It also allowed the president to suspend writs of habeas corpus.
The problem was that authorities had no way to really enforce these acts and thus the KKK was able to get away with most of their violent actions.

Why did the KKK name a highway after Rosa Parks?
Actually, the KKK didn't name the highway after Rosa Parks. The state of Missouri did. They did this because one of the participants in the KKK wanted to participate in the 'adopt a highway' thing, but Missouri said no, and the KKK took it to court and the court said it was unconstitutional not to give the highway to the KKK. BUTT, the state of Missouri found a loophole so that THEY could name the highway. So, in short, the state of Missouri named the highway, not the KKK (Ku Klux Klan). -Unipegutato

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.
