Primarily noting slavery, actually, a fact you guys can be truthful about.
The Pillow incident was late in the war, and the North was using the blacks to taunt and humiliate the CSA. So naturally a lot of pent up rage came into play with that battle.
You're excusing an atrocity??!! The murder of hundreds of POWs??!!
As far as the KKK is concerned your fellow Democrat Robert Byrd being a member,...
You are a liar. I've never voted Dem in my life.
...was originally formed to fight back against the corruption of the carpetbaggers and extremists who still were out to punish the South.
No, they formed to deny blacks their rights and to keep Republicans from the polls.
In the early 20's the KKK came back as a mostly anti black organization,...
They were anti-black in the 1860s also. Black-POW-murderer Forrest was Grand Wizard.
...and if you look at the photos of the rallies, they were all carrying USA flags.
So? Are you denying that it was rebels who formed the KKK? They wore sheets to symbolize fallen confederate soldiers.
Its not until lately with the Jerry Springer actors playing KKK goons that you see the CSA flag and the KKK together, as well as a few wannabe groups. The KKK that actually lynched people flew the the stars and stripes, so is the USA flag the "flag of hate"?
Why are you asking me that? I never said the coinfederate flag was a flag of hate. I have always said it is a flag for the soldiers. The slaveholder-secessionists were full of hate though, as was the early Klan.
It seems that you are the one playing the "half truth" game, or you do it out of ignorance getting your history from Al Sharpton and CNN.
What half-truth?
