The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) experienced a resurgence in the early 20th century due to a combination of factors, including the post-World War I social upheaval, the Great Migration of African Americans to northern cities, and fears of Immigration and changing social norms. The Klan capitalized on widespread racial tensions and economic instability, promoting a message of white supremacy and nativism. Their activities were often supported by a sense of nationalism and a desire to maintain traditional societal structures in the face of perceived threats. This resurgence was marked by increased violence and intimidation against minorities and opponents.

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.
