In the early 1940s, a politically ambitious butcher from West Virginia named Bob Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to form a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.

I'm going out on a limb and say this means between the years 1940 and '45. So take note, people. While most Americans were bent on securing liberty for all in a world war others started, one American thought it better to organize a hate group at home against fellow Americans.
