Conditions of work varied, though were still dangerous and the pay was low, women in the U.S. were often convicted of ‘stealing jobs from men’ and denied entry into unions.

This Klan was known for being mischievous and starting trouble and what played a major role was what they wore. By 1879 the enrollment of the Klan was around "eighty-five thousand individuals."
