"The Invisible Empire was a product of an affective urge to recreate a mythical past based on religious and racial homogeneity, and Klansmen therefore sought to embody a self-proclaimed ideal for what they claimed signified true Americanism. This ideal included notions of patriotism, nativism, white supremacism, and Protestant theology."
