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.

You know why I haven't responded to this, the very idea is so patently absurd in it's premise that it isn't worth my time to debate it.

However if you wish to prove that Blacks were members of The Klu Klux Klan, knock yourself out.

what a SILLY, evasive & (possibly INTENTIONALLY deceitful) response!

"archy" did NOT say that the immediate post-war klan had Black MEMBERS, but rather that they ASSISTED their former comrades-in-arms, including those CSA veterans who WERE Black! (BIG DIIFERENCE in those 2 concepts!)

are you REALLY that clueLESS & DIMwitted OR do you hope your readers are so intellectually naive, bovine & dense as to believe your drivel & nonsense?????

btw, GEN N. B. Forrest said of his MANY Black cavalrymen (and other sorts of CSA veterans), "No better rebels ever drew breath. Those sable lads were magnificent fighters."

don't you wish you hadn't "opened this can of worms", as it makes you look IGNORANT of WELL-documented, incontrovertible, FACTS????

as i've said numerous times of you (and of the lunatics of the "DAMNyankee coven" on FR), "you know NOT & know NOT, that you know NOT".

cobra, you REALLY should go do some reading, from REPUTABLE source documents, about the war & stop reading the secondhand LIES, propaganda & evasive drivel out of northeastern, REVISIONIST, LEFTIST academia. you'd look smarter, thereby.
