Im only replying to this because I can't see where to comment.

The KKK are the poor white people in the south who didn't want to join the Union, during the Civil war. The south had some rich plantation owners and they convinced the poor white people that if slavery was abolished they would be taken over by black slaves. The KKK was birthed out of fear post Civil war where they thought they would be wiped out by former slaves which is nonsense. As a result there were Jim Crow laws, Sundown towns, and other atrocities where they would fire bomb free slaves houses, also didn't allow former slaves to own guns so they had no self defense. The cowards would hide in sheets even though they heavily out armed, and out numbered the former slaves. Mind you they also had sheriffs and other law enforcement in their ranks.

These cowards still operate today.
