re: #951 Afrocity

Were the KKK members mostly democrats?

As I understand it, and I certainly don’t have all the details, they were bitter over their defeat in the Civil War and resented the Republicans for it for a long time.

I am not sure how accurate this bit is, but I seem to recall hearing/reading that the southern states voted strictly Dem. up until the last couple of decades because of this resentment. I could look up the specifics, but I’m feeling lazy.
