Why was the ku klux klan able to continue to exist? they had members in public office. it was created by state governments so it was difficult to dismantle. there weren't any laws prohibiting their activities. nobody protested their existence.

Explanation:

The nineteenth century Klan was initially composed as a social club by Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866. They obviously got the name from the Greek word kyklos, from which comes the English "circle"; "Klan" was included for similar sounding word usage and Ku Klux Klan developed.

The association rapidly turned into a vehicle for Southern white underground protection from Radical Reconstruction. Klan individuals looked for the reclamation of racial domination through terrorizing and viciousness went for the recently emancipated dark freedmen. A comparative association, the Knights of the White Camelia, started in Louisiana in 1867.
