what was different about the revival of the ku klux klan in the 1920s?

Explanation:

Shift in geographic scope and targets

Unlike the Reconstruction-era Klan, which was concentrated in the South and focused almost exclusively on terrorizing newly freed African Americans, the revived Klan of the 1920s expanded nationwide (gaining massive support in the Midwest and West) and broadened its targets to include Catholics, Jews, immigrants, and unionists alongside African Americans.

Adoption of mainstream, fraternal organization methods

The 1920s Klan operated openly as a mainstream fraternal organization with millions of members, utilizing modern marketing, public parades, and political lobbying, rather than functioning solely as a localized, secret insurgent group.

Answer:

In the 1920s, the revival of the Ku Klux Klan differed from its Reconstruction-era predecessor by expanding its geographic reach beyond the South into the Midwest and West, and broadening its targets to include immigrants, Catholics, and Jews alongside African Americans, while operating openly as a mainstream fraternal organization.
