> In a few Southern states, Republicans organized militia units to break up the Klan. <
Please do not let that fact become public knowledge! It will ruin the narrative put forth by the Democrats and the mainstream media.
I don’t recall ever being taught this in school
If it happened today the FBI would arrest the Republican militia and the 9th circuit would rule that the KKK may operate unimpeded in sanctuary cities.
In January 1871, Republican Senator John Scott of Pennsylvania convened a congressional committee to hear testimony from witnesses of Klan atrocities.
In February, Congressman Benjamin Franklin Butler of Massachusetts introduced his anti-Klan bill, intended to enforce both the Fourteenth Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
Butler’s bill was narrowly defeated in the House, whereupon Rep. Samuel Shellabarger, of Ohio, introduced a substitute bill, only slightly less sweeping than Butler’s original.
This bill brought a few holdout Republicans into line, and the bill narrowly passed the House, sailed through the Senate, and was signed into law on April 20 by President Ulysses S. Grant.[
On November 17, 1871 the NRA was founded largely because of this chaos.
“African-Americans and white Republicans” gotta love the weasel wording here as if there were no black republicans.
I figured it was a law requiring Democrats to be KKK members...
In other words the Republicans organized militias needed preparations for on going insurrection in the democratic held South. The movie on Netflix called "Free State of Jones" (2016) gets into this a little
the democrat conventions a long time ago was nearly full of people in Klan robs. The party has not change in the slightest for the better. The racism is far far worse today in the democrat party then when the Klan was at it's peak. Today it's based on pity and complete absolute superiority to the point they don't even think about it. It's no longer based on hate. hate would mean there is a feeling that there is a a threat
To understand this type of racism. "It's their culture" is a common statement now a days. Usually to disregard obviously bad things that culture does at the same time does not consider that to be a problem or a threat. Pick an example: such as: 9 year old girl marry a 52 yo man. Think logically what does that mean? "it's their culture"
racial superiority of the left believes which they don't even realize exists. "Drivers ID required for voting is racists" You tell me why is that racism? Is it because blacks does not have access to those types of ID required for voting?
How about another one: The "Drinking fountain" was a place to socialize which is why some cultures where not allowed near it. Today they call it "safe spaces" which has exactly the same affect.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to Antifa?
I have been wondering about this for so very long. Thank you so much for posting it.
It would be interesting to know which Supreme Court justices voted to overturn the law and who appointed them.
The Ku Klux Klan. The Democrat Party’s ‘’gift’’ to America.
I seem to recall that this Act or perhaps separate laws in the states forbade the wearing of hoods/masks in public.
Been wondering how the Antifa thugs get away with masks to conceal their mugs when committing violence and vandalism to intimidate.
Anyone know about this>
