His contributions to the moral development of the South are indeed profound, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude for his destruction of the KKK, both in 1872 with the mass arrests in the South, as well as in the 1960's when the legislation he wrote was evoked to provide for Federal prosecution of whites who had murdered and walked when southern white juries thumbed their noses in the traditional fashion at law and civilization.Because of Butler we now have "legal" double-jeopardy?
And you call that a "contribution to moral development"?
Thank you for the posting of the totalitarian Yankee statist logic that helps prove which side was really fighting for freedom.
