"and" -- the word is "and". I no more said that Lee and Jackson were Klansmen than that Lee was Jackson.

Your statement, "Yes, yes, and Robert Lee and Thomas Jackson and all the those Klansmen," implied that they were all members of the group.

If I were to say "George Bush and Dick Cheney and all those Republicans," it is both suggestive and implicit thatBush and Cheney are Republicans. Same goes for your statement about klansmen. If you did not intend it to be so, you should be more careful about your wording.
