Jefferson held lofty ideals and identified as an Antifederalist, opposing Federalists like Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, as he believed a powerful central government would not benefit the United States. Therefore, he resisted the concept of centralized federal authority and advocated for citizens' rights.

The 1920s Klan paid less attention to the racial agenda that defined the original organization and concentrated more on promoting a vision of a "real" or "true" America. This nativist orientation most frequently aimed at recent immigrants, but it also targeted Catholics, Jews, and those opposed to Prohibition — people they believed threatened America's moral order.
