The first Klan was a secret society established in the Southern ... estimated at 15,000 to 30,000 members active in 15 states. The Ku Klux Klan seemed to have all of the odds against them, but they seemed to again reestablish itself in the present day. The Klan was again revived for the fourth stage.
