51. The Klan also killed whites who got in the way.

During it height of power in the USA, during the 1920's, the Klan was able to control elections from Portland OR, to Portland ME., and many points in between.

For an interesting look at whites opposing the Klan in Mississippi in those days, read "Rising Tide" by John Barry. The topic of the book is about the great 1927 flood, but to set the stage he give the national historical background in which the Klan figured prominently.
