I've lived in the South my entire life and have yet to actually meet someone in the KKK. As soon as I do, I'll ask them.

Same reason a modern day terrorist like ISIS or Antifa wears a mask - conceal their identity.

They're too much of a coward to say I'm fighting for this, and this is who I am.

Considering they were engaged in a certain degree of terrorism, destruction of property, and murder, they probably didn't want to be identified for prosecution.

That and they're really scary lookin' like ghosests and all.

Same reason everyone else covers their face up and tries to hide their identity when they are doing shite that they wouldn't want everyone finding out that they are involved in.

ex. Bank Robbers, Terrorist, Liberal Protesters. etc., etc.

Domestic Democrat terrorists have always worn masks and still do today. See ANTIFA.

Everyone in the South has come across someone in the KKK. They just weren't wearing their costume at the time.

I saw an old documentary about them in school back in the 70's (when schools still taught kids about history) and the film stated the white hood and mask, as well as the robe, was to representing the purity of the white race.

so it wasn't about hiding, although im sure as the KKK was gradually seen as a less respectable organization to be associated with, it did turn into a convenient way of hiding you are a member.

Brides wear white to represent purity. But they don't wear a hood.
