That part you dont hear on the Media.:

You are absolutely right, Gary. As a history teacher, I applaud you. Yes, the KKK was formed to protect the rights of Southern States. which were being governed by the Northern military for quite a while! Now, they did some deplorable things, I'll give you that, but if the Southern states had been treated fairly after the war, which Lincoln wanted so very much, there may have been no KKK. It is a very sad chapter in my nation's history. Kudos to you for knowing more about it than many Americans!!!

It never ceases to amaze me the turns a thread will take!

From science to history...all in the blink of an eye.

History is my specialty, Richard. Give my love to "the white cat", will you? He is such a love!

LOL, how thrilled were you when the saying, "You're History!"
came around?

I have to qualify this!

It's the Ku KATZ Klan.....the only connection with any other group is the color white.

Ed has no political, social or economic agenda.

He just advocates food, a clean box and scritches?

Indiana has a lot of Klan still in existence. In fact, the Klan is all over the country, not just in the South. I used to live in Arkansas and loved it there! The people were very friendly and the scenery was breathtaking! I didn't see any more "rednecks" than there are in Los Angeles. Yes, it's a shame that Mr. Lincoln was shot by a Southerner. I don't think he realized what the repurcussions would be or he would have never done it.

They hang out in Beverly Hills.

I never knew that about the KKK. Thanks, Gary and katladyd, for educating me!
