Question

The resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s was the result of which of the following?

the economic boom following World War I

the Teapot Dome scandal

the rise of nativism after World War I

the end of the Red Scare

Answer 1

i think the rise of nativism after World War I

Answer 2

The answer is definitely Nativism, which is the belief that established (original settlers and their ancestors) Americans were more worthy of the blessings that this country had to offer than other groups such as immigrants. It was a political position that opposed immigration and hoped to lower the social/legal status of "unfavorable groups." This answer is right because the KKK (Ku Klux Klan)'s new goal was to oppose immigrants, Catholics, prohibitionists, Jewish people, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, and pretty much women. Therefore, the KKK used Nativism, which a lot of white men supported, to re surge and to build their groups.

What the other answers are and why they are wrong:
The Teapot Dome scandal was a bribery incident involving private oil companies, monopolies, and President Harding's administration. The economy had nothing to do with the resurgence of the KKK.

The Red Scare never really ended, since the Cold War started just about 20 years after this time.

Economic booms after WWI also had nothing to do with the KKK, expect for the fact that the KKK had new and more access to weapons that they used to kill, maim, and terrorize others with.

Answer 3

Yes the answer is nativism
