Which US state has the highest number of Klan members and why?

The KKK is known for its violence in the South against people who are not of the white race. There are other states throughout the United States that are still considered to be states that have the KKK in them. Many of them are in the South, but not all of them. Some of these states include Tennessee, Texas, Kentucky, and Mississippi. These states are all located in the South.

However, there are some non-southern states with KKK groups in them and these are Maryland, Illinois, Michigan and Maine. The state with the highest number of Klan groups is Mississippi. This is a poor state and has about five KKK groups in them. This is because of its location and history of having KKK in them.
