A recent book on the Klan during the 1920s contends, with good cause, that "the Klan was the biggest social movement of the early twentieth century." The author seeks to understand the horrifying fact that during the early 1920s "perfectly reasonable people supported the Klan." Although the Klan in the 1920s still espoused a repugnant racism, it was very different from the Klan that had emerged immediately after the Civil War. Illustrate a couple of the most significant differences between the original Klan and the new Klan that became prominent in Indiana during the 1920s. Second, briefly discuss why so many people supported the Klan during this period
