Question

2) Why were groups like the KKK considered the “Invisible Empire of the South?”

Answer 1

Because, for one, in the south most of the higher up state and government officials were members of the KKK. Also, the KKK was not considered a terrorist group. The Klan is organized as a brotherhood, and has state and national organization. Some believe it has as many as 8,000 members today in about 150 Klan chapters, although estimates range from around 2,500 - 6,000 possible members.
