I wonder about the feasibility of the project. The Southern Poverty Law 
Ctr.--the major US organization focused on following hate groups--was 
founded in 1971. Systematic study, and how it should be structured, was 
not present in colonial times, nor around the Civil War--this has only 
developed since the Civil Rights Era (depending on how one parses the 
subject). The ACLU was founded in 1920, but much of its modern 
information comes from the Southern Poverty Law Ctr., and the ACLU's 
aims have been different over the decades--not so focused on gathering 
data on hate groups.

This is from the SPLC: https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map . Data are 
recent, but there is graph of numbers (not locations) towards the bottom 
of the page.

If something more definitive were found, I would be interested to learn 
of it.

I am not certain I've ever come across anything like that and all my searching isn't coming across anything but I admit, I am not an expert, so I am turning to you all, the experts.  Have you all seen an atlas or map that charts hate groups.  I've shown him the government and non-profit resources on hate groups and many books which discuss them.
