True or False? -The Ku Klux Klan lost power during the 1920s.

In general the
1920s were the high point of membership and power of the KKK, although from the beginning of the
decade to the end there was a decline, so the answer would be both true and false, although in
general they were quite powerful during the entire decade.  It's important to understand that
the Klan of the Reconstruction era was not primarily a racist organization, and that in fact
former Confederate General Forrest disbanded the Klan because of the racist activities of some
members.  The Ku Klux Klan of the 20th century is a purely racist organization with no actual
ties to the original group.  The membership of the Klan, at its peak in the mid-1920s, has in
the modern era always lived primarily in Ohio, Michigan and California, not the Southern
states.
