The Ku Klux Klan of the early 1920s was known for being against immigrants, Catholics, Jews, and black people. This is shown in their membership requirements and their violent actions towards these groups. They were not confined to the Deep South and had a presence in many parts of the United States. While they did try to distance themselves from the violent tactics of their earlier incarnation, they still used intimidation and fear to further their goals. The popularity of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s was higher than its earlier incarnation, as it had a broader appeal beyond just the South.
