In the south, those Democrats who most bitterly opposed equality for blacks founded the Ku Klux Klan, which operated as the party's terrorist wing."

Although I would be willing to bet that most Klan members today are card carrying Republicans.
Where are the KKK these days?? I keep hearing about them but right here in Good Old Dixie they are like Bigfoot now...we hear about them but never see them...I am going to post a reward for these claims to be substantiated.:thumbsup: At least you told the truth even though you hated to..whats wrong with the truth on that war?
