The other poster didn't say anything about who started the Klan or where it was started.
Interestingly enough, one of the largest and most active memberships in later years was in INDIANA, which, last time I checked, was NOT in the south.
The point was, and is, that left-wing anti-southern, anti-white, anti-Christian, (largely) YANKEE rabble-rousers continue to try and remove all traditional and historical symbols and vestiges of the Confederacy because they SUPPOSEDLY have a link to slavery, racism, blah blah blah.
As one of the posted photos of the KKK shows, the flag of the US was flown at KKK rallies too. If we're gonna get rid of the Confederate battle flag, we might as well get rid of Old Glory to, huh?
Either would be, and IS, LUDICROUS, since, of the 200+ years of slavery in this country, only 4 years were under the Confederacy.
Those that love to whine and complain about the South (mainly Yankee democrats), should focus their whining and complaining towards the real racists (mainly democrats like "Sheets" Byrd), and they should STFU about our honorable Southern symbols, history, and traditions.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, and that's the reason many counties in Southern Indiana have voted straight democratic for years. Ours being one of them*. However, the neighboring county (which has several Underground Railroad stations) is a strong Republican county.
