I’m from Louisiana—I know. But, I do recall that the KKK actually became very popular in the mid-west, especially in Indiana, which had been strong GOP territory.
The 1920s KKK became popular in mostly rural areas of the Midwest due to its anti-foreigner stance. It petered out by the late 1920s, almost as fast as it came to be. Before and after that, it was mostly a Southern, anti-Black thing.
