So Byrd felt that he couldn't get elected without joining the KKK?

Now, why wasn't this tried in every other state?

Are West Virginians more racist than the electorate in every other state in the Union?

Please explain, Bill.

The funny thing is that the klan reached the peak of their power in Illinois during the Wilson administration.

Back then all the southern states were horrifying. I could not imagine the fear the African Americans felt living down there. Thank God they were able to sneak up North. My family is from Pennsylvania thank goodness. The South has gotten better but still will have that dark cloud that was earned.
