 Members of the Klan were upset that they had to fight in World War I. Members of the Klan joined together to oppose the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The Klan was recreated due to economic uncertainties and hatred for immigrants. The Klan was revived to fight back against the rise. Hope this helps you!!!
