Fair enough but it still was the Confederacy that formed the Klan and the Confederacy whereas it flourished at all. It also wa sthe continuation of the party of the Confederacy (the democrats) who continued to promote the Klan for a hundred years to come.
It still was the Confederact that defended slavery. It still was Lincoln who took a side that fought against it. Regardless of his shortcomings Lincoln was not in favor of the much more radical pro-slavery attitudes of the rebel south democrats.
And not for the stride of anti-Americanism to be broken the democrat party has never missed a beat. They were the party of the KKK during the Civil War and then they were the party of the KKK for years upon years after as well.
Ok the KKK barrier has been broken. For the record-Southerners are Klansman, Northerners are Nazis. Continue....
The Klan was formed after the war. How could the non-existent Confederacy have formed it? Since the South was full of such obviously evil people—men,women,children, and even babies in the womb—and the North was full of such obviously righteous people, the North would have been better off without the South. North good,South bad. Need we know more?
