One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, submit an analysis of the growth of the Klan in the 1920s.
You might want to consider the following questions, but you are not limited to them: Why do you believe the Klan saw a rise in membership in the 1920s? Why was it socially acceptable to be a member of such an organization? What legacies are still present in modern America from the Klan?
This assignment should be at least 300 words and contain your reactions or questions about some specific issue within the historical narrative which you find compelling. For full credit, your paper must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there. Rather, I’m looking for you to create your own interpretation, explain the emotional content of the piece, or discuss some original insight. Include citations as needed.
