The KKK expanded its membership after World War I due to a combination of factors, including a resurgence of nativism and anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States. The social turmoil of the post-war era, along with the fear of communism and labor unrest, fueled a desire for social order and racial purity. Additionally, the Klan capitalized on the newfound popularity of patriotic and Christian values, promoting itself as a defender of American society against perceived threats. This led to a significant increase in membership during the 1920s, as many people, particularly in the Midwest and South, sought a sense of belonging and identity.
