People in Ku Klux Klan costumes, c. 1920

The Ku Klux Klan hated more than just Black people - they also took time to hate people who were Jewish, Catholic, or immigrants. This hatred led White supremacists to be in support of Prohibition, which they felt would especially hurt Irish and Italian immigrants. The KKK even made significant financial contributions to the WCTU.
