Originally formed during Reconstruction, the Klan disbanded in its final years. After seeing a movie "Birth of a Nation" by D.W. Griffith, William Joseph Simmons was inspired to revive the white terrorist group in 1915. This sequel to the original Ku Klux Klan not only targeted blacks, but Jews, Catholics and foreigners as well.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

The KKK was revived (actually created anew) in 1915 near Atlanta, Georgia, largely, but not entirely, to promote and enforce state-wide alcohol prohibition that had been imposed a few years earlier but was under attack.
