The KKK originally was a group that was pro Anglo-Saxen-Protestant and anti-African American. By the time the 1920's, the KKK was anti-Jewish, anti-Catholic, anti-birth control, etc. But the reason that the KKK was becoming so anti-everything was because during the early 1900's, American citizens were experiencing an economic boom (before the stock market crash) and things were going good. Immigration was also a big thing at the time and this made the KKK angry as well. They wanted to represent the "true Americans", which were white males.

Hope this helps

yeah like the person above me said, the recent dislike toward immigrants because of the war reveved the cause. people were paranoid about anyone that wasn't "100% american"
