The Ku Klux Klan of 1920s was a second KKK organized in 1915 as a mmore formal organization than the previous one, had registered memebers, a state and national structure. It had great popularity, as it had 4 to 5 million members. This populatity began to wane in the Great Depression of 1929 and during the Second World War, when some prominent members of the klan organized scandals to support nazi germany. This klan was founded with new anti-semitic and anti-immigrant objectives. Recruiters emphasized pointing out Jewish bankers, blacks, catholics or some others social or ethnic group as the cause of the problems of ordinary citizens. The kkk, in spite of remaining predominantly democratic like the previous one, managed to penetrate with force in the republican party, extending its influence to practically all the United States. In 1920s a klan faction called black legion was active in the midwest of the United States. The black legion wore black uniforms, instead of the characteristic white robe. It was the most violent faction of the klan, and gained notoriety for murdering socialists and communists.
Bearing this in mind, the practices carried out in the 1920s by members of the Ku Klux Klan can be described as organized, extremely violent, persecuting and discriminatory, with political and social interests.
In 1925 the kkk was a political force of considerable power in the state. In 1927 a wave of terror broke out in the state, where the klan attacked not only for racial reasons, but also for moral reasons that the kkk itself judged.
I hope this can help you. Greetings!
