I stole it from TS but the point is still the same... The demonrats are the party of slavery, Jim Crowe, The KKK, segregation and racism... Thank you for posting the links to help clarify the mislabeling of the meme... Cheers fren... ☕️☕️☕️
The KKK was mainstream and part of both parties in the mid 1920s.
The KKK was particularly upset by the fact the Catholic Al Smith was a possible nominee.
In addition to his Catholicism, the Klan didn't like he was opposed to Prohibition
In 1928 Al Smith won the nomination and became the first Catholic to the Presidential nominee of a major party
Thank you for that information... Seems like the KKK was intolerant of a lot more than just the black population... In a country (USA) where freedom and equality are the standards, groups like the kkk and others need to be abolished and destroyed...
The Klan in the 20s was like the second coming of the Klan. They were still anti-black but they also started focusing a lot more on anti-Semitism and anti-catholicism. And they started to move overtly into political power but they worked with both parties depending on what state they were in. Check out D. C. Stephenson Indiana which might have been the state the Klan was most powerful in
Sounds like you've been digging on this for a while... I'll check it out, thank you...
