The Ku Klux Klan was a secret White Supremacy group in the Southern States of America that aimed violence towards African Americans, Catholics, Jewish people, and other minorities.
Some people supported the Ku Klux Klan for many different reasons-during the 1920s the United States experience much economic prosperity, but economic prosperity was very common in the South.
Many people blamed the lack of economic prosperity on african americans and anger mixed with racism towards african americans made for a very violent situation in the South.
The Ku Klux Klan strongly supported anti-immigration along with many white Americans; so in turn many Americans supported the KKK for their anti-immigration acts.
Jewish people were targeted by the KKK for a couple of reasons. Jewish people were terrorized by the KKK because of their increasingly high status and control of the banks.
Catholics were exploited because the KKK believed that Catholics could not be good Americans if they remained faithful to the Pope.
Anybody who according to the KKK was not a WASP(White Allegro-Saxon Protestant) or not morally or racially pure was targeted.
