The Klan had three incarnations in the USA. Several prominent Democrats were members of the KKK including 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 when they were mostly left-leaning [[New Deal]]ers, including a number of Southern [[segregation]]ists) similarly falsely claim the KKK to be a "right-wing" organization when the Klan supported [[gun control]]<ref>Eddlem, Thomas R.
