You don't like it, deal with it.

You're wong. You've been proven wrong numerous times.

You don't like it, deal with it.

Sloww is right though.

The KKK was not founded to go around and bash black ppl, or to even ensight violence. They were founded to protect the "southern" way of life that was being threated as the victors, the north, moved in with their industry and governmental rule.

Even Forrest had to cut on the KKK when they started to become violent.

Apparently, you did not listen to MTG's order.

The Ku Klux Klan was a political terrorist organization for the Democratic party. Read some books on the history of the Ku Klux Klan.

But don't read the white supremacist version that claims the Ku Klux Klan started out with good intentions.

And different sides

Define this "Southern Way of Life" the KKK was supposedly founded to protect, and explain why it was a noble effort unconnected with beating on blacks & putting them back in "their place."

What else?

Thank you, Japher.
Again, the South was tired of Northern attitude.
Hard to believe, huh ?
As far as the MINORITY of Southerners who did have slaves, the slaves weren't beat and that, like you would be led to believe by some.
As has been noted, Blacks cost money.
I'm sure slave-owners were cost-concious, wouldn't you think?
So wrong as it was, for this MINORITY to own slaves, they didn't mistreat them.



“Only a minority of the whites owned slaves,” “at all times nearly three-fourths of the white families in the South as a whole held no slaves;” “slave ownership in the South was not widespread;” “not more than a quarter of the white heads of families were slave owners, and even in the cotton states the proportion was less than one-third;”


“Although the constant conclusion has been that the number of whites owning slaves was remarkably small and that the South was therefore an unusually oligarchical society, the comparative basis for such a judgment has never been firmly established. Instead, that judgment appears to have rested primarily upon a moral repugnance toward slavery.” He then begins to investigate the prevailing attitude toward slavery in the past as well as the attitude of historians in the 20th century. Olsen blames the antebellum antislavery movement for the origin of the accusations that southern slavery was politically and economically oligharchical. A prime example is the viewpoint of the Republican party. In a speech to the people of the United States in 1856 the address asserted that non-slaveholders in the South “were reduced to a vassalage little less degrading than that of the slaves themselves…although the white population of the slaveholding States is more than six million, of whom but 347,525, or less than one-seventeenth, are the owners of slaves.”
