Common knowledge of American history, for instance I know that it wasn't Nathan Bedford Forrest that created The Klu Klux Klan but instead it was the Pulaski six or as they are better known The "Immortal Six", all former confederates and all democrats wanting to prevent republicans from mobilizing Blacks to vote in Tennessee, that originally formed the Klan and quickly turned it into the terror wing of the democratic party.
Do you doubt I can prove this with any number of quotes or credits, do you doubt I can prove that democrats have used the confederate flag as a symbol of white supremacy in the south, do you doubt I can prove that democrats today are leveling charges of racism against republicans because of the confederate flag?
I should not need to prove this things to someone that claims to be a defender of the confederate flag to someone that is supposed to know their heritage, to someone that claims to be a defender of the south's honored dead, I should not have to prove to you what you should already know and be angered by....
Are you angered by the way the democrats have done their worst to destroy your heritage for political gain, and if not then why aren't you?

And that under Nathan Bedford Forrest's leadership, the Klan not only took positions of local political leadership, but also served to organize veterans of the previous war to help arrange mutual support for their fellows, and which included black Confederate veterans such as Forrest's wartime drovers and teamsters.
I don't know that such membership was limited to Confederate veterans, though that was probably the practical case. But Forrest's view was one of reconciliation if it could be done. And if not, of handing the South's occupiers a hatfull of the trouble they'd started.
