During the 1920’s there were many debates going on and people had different thoughts. There were many different perspectives on the Ku Klux Klan, the prohibition, and Flappers.
In the 1920’s the Ku Klux Klan took things to a whole new level, they most wanted to restrict immigration. This newer generation of the Klan was not only anti-black but also took a stand against Roman Catholics, Jews, and foreigners, basically anyone who wasn’t American. It was fueled by the growing hostility to the growth in immigration that America experienced during the early 20th century. With professional promoters help, Klan membership peaked with close to 4 million people nationwide, which later declined due to power struggles.
