What was different about the revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s?

Answer

Answer:

The revival of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s was different because it expanded its targets beyond African Americans to include Jews, Catholics, and immigrants. It presented itself as a patriotic organization that supported religious fundamentalism and '100% Americanism.' Additionally, it attacked urban intellectuals and the social trends of the time, such as bootlegging and movies, while continuing to advocate for white supremacy.
