[quote=GARYKINKADE,307360]O.K. GUESTKIKI......your question is causing me great agony and gnashing of the teeth on researching of the subject.
But hey,  I'm learning something from it anyway.
The 1st. Klan era was from 1865-1870's (period of reconstruction )....and dealt more with (apprehending or otherwise)  the "carpetbaggers" from the Northern U.S. (people or institutions taking advantage of the Southern U.S. after the war carnage). Also,  some Afro-American men were given firearms by the North and were used as law enforcement, which did not please the Southerners and so they were neutralized (or partially so) by the KKK. Numerous other shootings and lynchings of ex-slaves and sympathizers also occurred   during this period for various reasons.
The 2nd. Klan era was from 1915-1944 and was involved more with immigration, negro, labor and   religious issues( i.e. it was more of a national organization and dealt with national issues). 
Both periods of the Klan supposedly involved a "white supremacy" attitude.
20th. century radical women and the KKK ? I have no idea and to my knowledge, no information was available on this.
