Er, ah... Well, it happens to be true. After the Civil War southern Democrats did form the White Leagues, or the Ku Klux Klan, as they're more commonly known. But in 1876 the Republicans, to their eternal discredit, effectively agreed to turn a blind eye to the actions of the KKK, in exchange for the southern electoral votes needed to put Rutherford B. Hayes in the Presidency.
