I can enlighten that a little. My Dads parents were Methodist/Evangelical United Brethren. In the 60's , the Catholic kids who we played with in town were not allowed to join us for a potluck dinner and services in our church. They didn't consider Catholics as true Christians.Most of my family on my fathers side lived around Millersburg, Iowa. Back in the 1960s my grandmother was cleaning out my great grandfathers basement at his grocery store and found a Klan outfit.
It was evidently a big deal back in the 1930s in Iowa but it wasn’t evolved around black folk. It was against Catholics. The Methodist and Lutheran Churches absolutely hated the Catholics back then. Don’t know why really.
I assumed, in your case, it was the Jews.That certainly spoils the Black narrative they were the sole victims of the KKK.
Yeah, we weren't supposed to date mackeral snappers. Some of us did anyway, but what were we supposed to do when every tavern in any small town in Carroll county would serve you.The whole Protestant vs Catholic issue in rural Iowa was a real thing. My grandmother’s 1st cousin got knocked up by an Irish Catholic kid from a nearby farm in the late ‘30’s. Her parents forbade her to marry him or to have anything to do with him. So, the child basically grew up fatherless.
Have you seen Iowa's basketball team this year?Watching a documentary on IPTV. I did not realize the Klan had such a history in Iowa.
How did I ever think we were above this?
The University of Iowa and Iowa City had many areas off limits to blacks. I had no idea of this. Very disappointing.

Who has claimed that they were the sole victims? Sounds like a lie to me.That certainly spoils the Black narrative they were the sole victims of the KKK.
In the 1960 election, one of the main complaints by evangelicals Vs. Kennedy was that he would take policy direction from the Vatican at the expense of the United States.
But how many Catholics were lynched by the KKK - guessing none.That certainly spoils the Black narrative they were the sole victims of the KKK.
The Klan was pretty much considered nearly mainstream in much of the country in the nineteen teens and twenties. Really a bad reflection on our country at that time. Remember the movie "The Birth of a Nation?" A film that' considered a seminal classic in American cinema that glorified the KKK.
We already have the liberals version of the KKK, it's now called the Klan with a Tan (BLM). Marching and torching near a town by you.

The Knights of Columbus grew large mostly as a reaction to the Klu Klux Klan. It was an anti-defamation group.My dad was a teenager in the 1930s. This was his recollection, too.
In Davenport, the German Catholic Church (St. Joes) was four blocks from St. Mary's (Irish Catholic Church). It was a scandal for a German Catholic to Marry an Irish Catholic. So even the Catholics did not like each other much.I can enlighten that a little. My Dads parents were Methodist/Evangelical United Brethren.

The hardcore Baptists, Evangelicals and some of the other fundamental Christian denominations have long held the Roman Catholic church is unworthy of the publics spiritual trust going back to the times of Martin Luther and the Reformation.
??Color me shocked

My grandparents, Irish Catholic immigrants who settled in the Fort Dodge- Storm Lake area, had the KKK burn a cross in their yard because they didn't want Catholics in their area.Most of my family on my fathers side lived around Millersburg, Iowa.

Germans are the European equivalent to Texans here in the USA.The Germans typically think their shit don’t stink. It’s always been that way, especially if you’ve grown up around the older generation
