It was mainly because the focus of the KKK had shifted. It wasn't just targeting African American's anymore. This appealed to more people. Also, during the 1920's there was unrest in the country because of the changing times. Flappers, speakeasies, automobiles, suburbs etc. made many people restless. Many, especially in the rural areas felt that this was the beginning of a moral decline in the U.S. The KKK was targeting these people to "give them comfort" (only completely false).
