The KKK of the 1920s differed from the Reconstruction Era klan primarily in its broader focus and national reach. While the earlier klan primarily targeted African Americans and sought to restore white supremacy in the South post-Civil War, the 1920s Klan expanded its agenda to include anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, and anti-Semitic sentiments, positioning itself as a defender of traditional American values. Additionally, the 1920s Klan capitalized on modern media and organized mass rallies, gaining significant political influence and membership across the United States, unlike its more localized predecessor.
