The true statement regarding the Ku Klux Klan’s position on immigration in the 1920s is the C: The Ku Klux Klan wanted to preserve traditional American values. When this racist organization, which was made up, for the most part, of white Protestant middle-class men, reappeared in the 1920s, its members assaulted (both verbally and physically) those who, according to them, were not truly American, that is to say, those who were neither white nor Protestant, since they believed in a mythological, legendary and mistaken image of America as a nation of predominantly white people. They viewed immigration as a threat, since, they argued, immigrants took the jobs that belonged to the American people and somehow contributed to tarnish the purity of a white America. Fortunately, the stellar revival of the organization did not last long.
