The Ku Klux Klan was powerful because they instilled fear through acts of violence and intimidation, targeting African Americans and other marginalized groups. They also had support from certain government officials and law enforcement, allowing them to operate with impunity in some areas. Additionally, they leveraged Propaganda and mass gatherings to recruit members and spread their message of white supremacy.

What stoped wegener from proving that the continents were once together?

One key factor that stopped Wegener from fully proving his theory of continental drift was the lack of a plausible mechanism to explain how continents could move. Additionally, Wegener faced resistance from the scientific community who were skeptical of his ideas based on the limited evidence he presented at the time. Lastly, the technological advancements necessary to provide compelling evidence for his theory, such as satellite mapping and deep-sea drilling, were not available during Wegener's time.

Why did the southern join the ku klux klan?

The KKK was a result of the civil war and emancipation of the slaves. The south didn't "join" the KKK they created it. The original KKK was called Night Riders and they formed to intimidate former slaves dressed as ghosts of civil war soldiers. As time went on the organization became quite powerful and became part of city and state governments, police departments, judges, congressmen joined. At one point in the 1920's they were so powerful they had a convention in Washington DC and marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in their white robes. This was not a small gathering, but lines and lines of KKK members. Also in the 1924 presidential election a KKK member ran for president, but he had to drop out when it was discovered he had kid napped and raped a woman. To get away from him she committed sucide. In recent years the KKK lost some of its power, but hate never seems to totally die and the group has had a resurgence.

Why did the KKK name a highway after Rosa Parks?

Actually, the KKK didn't name the highway after Rosa Parks. The state of Missouri did. They did this because one of the participants in the KKK wanted to participate in the 'adopt a highway' thing, but Missouri said no, and the KKK took it to court and the court said it was unconstitutional not to give the highway to the KKK. BUTT, the state of Missouri found a loophole so that THEY could name the highway. So, in short, the state of Missouri named the highway, not the KKK (Ku Klux Klan). -Unipegutato
