Why does anyone pay attention to this raving imbecile?
Klu Klux Klan. Again.
Reconstruction ended in Mississippi in 1876, not 1865.
The word is pertinent, not prescient.
It wasn't Southern whites who called former slaves "freemen" (sic). It was the freaking federal government, which ran the Freedmen's (not freemen's) Bureau.
The Civil Rights Act of 1871 didn't give the feds power to dismantle the KKK. It gave the Klan's victims the ability to file civil actions. It was pretty much a pointless law.
John has got to be one of the biggest morons on the planet.
