Thank you
You are welcome :-)
Yes, your choices are correct.
1. It was often made up of important men in the Southern society: This is significant because it indicates that the Ku Klux Klan had the support and involvement of influential individuals who held power and could exert influence in the community.
2. It was funded by northern politicians: Although not selected, this statement is not necessarily correct. The Ku Klux Klan was not directly funded by northern politicians. Rather, it was primarily funded by its members and through local activities such as rallies and initiation fees.
3. It used fear and cruelty to send messages to blacks and political opponents: This is significant because the Ku Klux Klan employed terror tactics, including violence and intimidation, to instill fear among African Americans and individuals who opposed their ideologies.
4. It influenced the voting behaviors of citizens: This is significant because the Ku Klux Klan sought to manipulate and control the political landscape by influencing electoral outcomes. They aimed to block African Americans from voting and suppress political opposition, reinforcing segregation and white dominance in Southern politics.
