I grew up in the North and while I never saw a clansman, I remember that they would burn crosses on the lawns of blacks that infiltrated white neighborhoods.  And it was rumored that a building I worked in that had had many lives before it became a govenrment building, was once the headquarters of the Clan for the area.  While the South is supposedly known for being racist, I think that the North had probably an equal number of racists who acted out.  I don't think they did a lot of lynching, but the harassment factor was there.  

I don't think being a clansman was something people made public, even to their families.  But they did exist, although I doubt they were ever mainstream.  '

Interestingly when my house was being built, on the corner of our street, someone had put a noose up in the tree.  I don't know how it got there or by whom, or why, but I had the builder go and and take it down.  Still don't know if it was a joke, a warning (although we don't have any black families here), or whatever, but I felt shocked.
