The Know Nothings were a New York phenomenon that occurred BEFORE the Civil War.

The KKK was a Southern phenomenon that occurred AFTER the Civil War.

I suppose you might draw some parallels between the two, but the one is not father to the other.

Both groups were made up of Protestants who didn't like Catholics. That's a pretty good parallel.

So typical of someone who doesn't understand Protestantism to equate Souvrn' Baptists with Northern Presbyterians.

Sorry, does not compute. They are not the same religion ~ not even close.

You still have to overcome the quite apparent time dilation factor ~ BEFORE and AFTER are meaningful.
