I don't even agree with the "three separate Klans" statement. Growing up in the South where my forebears lived since the American Civil War, there was always a Klan chapter where I lived. People said it in everyday conversation (I was from a white family). No one actually admitted to belonging to it, but it was definitely always there and definitely got stirred up from time to time over some local matter. Who even thinks they know that it died out? It's a very secretive organization to start with. I propose taking out that statement, and just saying instead, that that Klan went through three distinct phases in visibility historically.
