I don't need to you need to show that you understand that the words do not mean the same as they did in the 1870's, hell they don't mean the same thing they meant in the 1940's.Are you really this stupid? Link to one KKK member that voted as a liberal.Are you really this stupid? The political meaning of Liberal and conservative have changed even since the 1940's.I'm not a democrat. I have no team. Its not a team sport and you should know this. I know you arent that bright but you dont seem to understand the difference between a party label and an ideology. Liberals can be Republican and conservatives an be Democrats. I feel sorry for you that you went through life not understanding that simple concept.What they called themselves is irrelevant. They were conservative. They wanted the status quo.Did the KKK call themselves conservative or liberal, or did they NOT use those terms
No, that's what YOU and others of the Democrat party want to call them to make people THINK it wasn't your team that started the whole thing....
"At the time of Ulysses S. Grant's election to the presidency, white supremacists were conducting a reign of terror throughout the South. In outright defiance of the Republican-led federal government, Southern Democrats formed organizations that violently intimidated blacks and Republicans who tried to win political power.
The most prominent of these, the Ku Klux Klan, was formed in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1865. Originally founded as a social club for former Confederate soldiers, the Klan evolved into a terrorist organization. It would be responsible for thousands of deaths, and would help to weaken the political power of Southern blacks and Republicans."

Why do you want to change history, especially when everyone knows it?
