Jeff Davis was Catholic??? Fascinating, since Catholics were targeted by the KKK far more than even blacks. But then again, the KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.
The stereotypes of the south aren't quite so clearcut as the SPLC would lead one to believe. There were native Catholics and native Jews who supported the Confederacy and suffered no ill treatment, even to the point of being elevated to the highest offices of the land.
Perhaps there was something else at work?
Nah, not possible, all the history books say so. /s
