You're dead on with the KKK. The First wave of the Klan in the 1870s was a very Southern organization from the start. The second wave of the Klan in the early 19002 was reconstituted in the North and was always stronger in the North. No matter the region, the Klan was an organization of the elite of the community until very recently.
