Explanation:

• The Ku Klux Klan is an American group of white supremacist hate group who have African Americans as their main target. The Klan has existed at varying stages of 3 distinct eras in the US history . Everyone advocated conservative radical views including white nationalism, anti-immigration and, particularly in later times, Nordicism ( an ideology of racial separatism that sees  the Nordic  as a superior race).
• The Klan went beyond attacking just Blacks and spread its hate speech to Catholics , Jews and outsiders after its second reemergence. The Klan supported fundamentalism, devotional patriotism and white supremacy. They blasted bootleggers, took videos, and backed "clean" life. The Klan targeted politicians, urbanists and academics, catering to citizens unhappy with the changing transformation of America from a rural farming community to an urban industrialised nation
