Weeelllll, the original KKK was actually a good thing to protect Southerners from the depredations of the vindictive carpetbaggers from the North. NOT the subsequent manifistations of the KKK.

And if Lincoln had been assassinated shortly after his inauguration, the War of Northern Aggression would not have happened, slavery would have been eradicated anyway, and race relations would be much better today.

Most folks have NO IDEA about the real history of that period. So many lies are told in the major media (you DO believe them - right ?!?!?!?!) about that era, unless you actually investigate on you own, you will have a completely jaundiced view of AmeriKan history.
