Answer:

after seeing d.w. griffith's film <em>birth of a nation </em>simmons revived the klan.

Explanation:

in his first official act, he climbed to the top of a local mountain and set a cross on fire to mark the "rebirth" of the klan. simmons moved beyond targeting not just african americans, but catholics, jews, and foreigners too. he also promoted fundamentalism and devout patriotism with advocating white supremacy. lastly, the klan started to attack the elite, urbanites, and intellectuals as well to appeal to rural folk. by the 1920s, the klan balooned from three million to as high as eight million klansmen.
