The '''Ku Klux Klan''' ("KKK") had three incarnations in the USA, all by racist [[Democrats]]. Two very prominent Democrats were members of the KKK: Democrat [[Robert Byrd]], who was a U.S. Senator from [[West Virginia]] for more than 50 years and who had led his local KKK chapter, and Democrat [[Hugo Black]], who was appointed to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] by [[FDR]] and became the Justice most hostile to [[classroom prayer]] and [[Christianity]] in public life. Despite the Democrat-KKK connection, however, liberals (who falsely claim that the pre-1964 Democrats were a "conservative" party) similarly falsely claim the KKK to be a "right-wing" organization.
The '''Ku Klux Klan''' ("KKK") is the traditional militant terrorist wing of the [[Democratic party]]. It had three incarnations in the USA.

The Klan of the 1860s was a violent effort by white Southern Democrats to fight [[Reconstruction]] after the [[Civil War]]. Reconstruction was ended as a political compromise to resolve the exceedingly close presidential election of 1876. Owing to this, the KKK often targeted those belonging to the Republican Party with death.
