If you had a black robe that meant that you are the leader of that KKK group and you rule everyone.

The KKK symbol was very interesting when I found it and did a little more research on it and found out that the KKK symbol was called the Mioak it means mystic Insignia of a Klansman.The KKK symbol was Red,Black, and white cross.KKK’s background of the symbol was a red circle then a cross on top and a red blood drop in the middle.The blood drop in the middle is to represent a shield of protection of the white race.

Also what their religion is and how it works, and what people they want alive and what people they don’t. Its just the KKK of 1920 is so interesting is so many way if it’s symbol,color,religion.
