9 févr. 1915 - 1915-1930: The revival of the Ku Klux Klan (Factors that contributed to the growth of the Klan included fear amongst whites towards blacks and communism, increased focus on Jews and Roman Catholics and the success of the film 'The Birth of a Nation', that glorified the old Klan. Although the Klan remained a rather minor organisation in the north, in the south its backing of capitalism and traditional American virtues meant that by 1924 its membership had risen to 5million.)
