The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is referred to as the "Invisible Empire" due to its secretive nature and the use of intimidation and fear to exert control over communities, especially in the post-Civil War South. The term reflects the Klan's clandestine operations, where members often wore robes and masks to conceal their identities, creating a sense of anonymity. This secrecy allowed them to operate outside the law and maintain an atmosphere of terror while presenting themselves as a legitimate force for white supremacy and racial purity.

The KKK of the 1920s differed significantly from the Reconstruction Era KKK in its broader focus and membership.

This version of the KKK also saw a massive increase in membership and visibility, promoting itself as a national organization with a more mainstream appeal, utilizing parades and public rallies to recruit members. Additionally, the 1920s KKK leveraged modern media and a more organized structure to spread its message beyond the South.
