You don't make any argument against my points. You present facts without context or argument, and even your facts pretty much support what I have been saying.

Once again - "but even at its peak the klan hardly had the support of the whole Bible Belt. Not all of the people in that area were racist, and most of the racists were not violent terrorist or at least quasi terrorist types."

At its peak in the mid-1920s its membership was estimated at 4 million to 5 million."

4 to 5 million was not a majority of the South, but more importantly I notice you quoted your own source out of context. The real quote is

"At its peak in the mid-1920s its membership was estimated at 4 million to 5 million. Although the actual figures were probably much smaller, the Klan nevertheless declined with amazing rapidity to an estimated 30,000 by 1930.
