Racism in the 1920.:
kkk-
the Original Ku Klux Klan was started in the 1870's i the south as a reaction against reconstruction. it only lasted a short period of time, and in the 1920's William Simmons made a new K.K.K. getting rid of Americans' fear of immigrants, Communism, and anything " Un-American". Simmons saw a chance to sell memberships, costumes, and life insurance. Simmons hired an aggressive, commissions-based sale force too, who has came up with over 2 million members by 1924. After a while they spread their hatred to Catholics, Jews, and immigrants of all kinds. William wanted the clan to be all 100% American because thats how he saw it.
He started to hate more than just the African-Americans, but also Roman Catholics, Jews, and immigrants of all different backgrounds. The new clan thought of themselves as protecting the "American Family" they've spoken out against violating prohibition, labor union membership, sabbath breaking, immodest dress, bobbed hair, and all forms of unconventional sexuality. they were champions of vigilante justice against bootleggers, wife beaters, and adulterers. their scare tactics and violence caused memberships to decline, KKK members that were elected in office usually didnt get close to winning and memberships began to reduce at a alarming rate. i would have to say that the KKK was extremely detailed with what they like and what they dont like. they have horrible expectations for the most part.
