    Sounds like the “knights of the KKK” might have come from the southern chivalry thing.

      Maybe, but I don’t think so, at least not directly. I can’t find a source, though.

      I just think the concept of Knights and Arthurian stuff was popular, and they just both came from the same general popular ideas, instead of one coming from the other.
