It was in this century that the radical Southern Conservative Democratic faction the KKK would go through its three iterations and help to enforce the black codes much to the dismay of its increasingly progressive wing represented by figures like William Jennings Bryan.

In this era, the Republicans are the Progressives. Simple as that. Some members have a liberal and democratic ideology; some are more authoritative, and fascist. It is a populist movement that is progressively socially conservative and right-wing, but each era and faction are unique. The Third iteration is the one we know today, it arose in response to Civil Rights and included many changing factions some of whom want to be recognized Democratically, some who are more extreme, some who are more like neo-Nazis, some more like neo-Confederates.

It was founded as a fraternal, social club inspired at least in part by the then largely defunct Sons of Malta.

Here we should note the opposing party was the Northern and, at-the-time Republican, party. However, no party had a monopoly on nativism. The groups. This is true even though the party was increasingly dominated by Progressives like William Jennings Bryan. There are many sides of the eugenics argument, and one must study its history in earnest before making a judgment call.

Very radical right-wing propaganda equated birth control with genocide, but there was a wide range of beliefs. An espousal of negative eugenics is part of the dark history of the Democratic party. In this, we can see a clear split from the increasingly liberal Democrats.

Malcolm X — Dixiecrats. Malcolm X talks about Dixiecrats and the strained relationship between Democrats and Black Americans. Remember M. Wallace not George C. Wallace and Teddy left. Actions have consequences. We can frame and skew this to make it look as though liberals created the KKK and gangs and are the bad guys, but that is mostly a simplified misreading of history mixed with propaganda.

History is complex, and often dark, and there is plenty of room to get confused. The grand result is that the David Dukes of the world today fly the Confederate Battle flag and vote Republican. This story is a major reason why the voter map looks the way it does. Today, the socially liberal left-wing of our divided nation, the Democratic party, is a very different collection of factions to the party who housed the KKK or called themselves Confederate.

They, ironically, have been overtaken by the southern spirit of the Confederates, with many of their policies mirroring those of that faction. Although Teddy Progressives are long gone, this remains close to old nativist know-nothing and anti-communist and elitist anti-immigrant factions.

Ultimately, M. We know which party sprayed fire hoses in Alabama; it was the same party who was marching. These two factions went head-to-head, and the progressive liberals were left standing. Whether the reason M. One thing is sure. The party that waves the Confederate flag today is the Republican party although, as history shows us, a much is subject to change. This was also the aim of the World Wars.

When one feels beaten down, it can be tempting to push back, but we must remember that America is a balanced and liberal nation. Or to translate that, progressive social liberals are censoring the speech of fascist hate groups like the KKK and neo-NAZIs, which in the environment of neoliberal globalism and immigration is causing a push back from what we today call the alt-right.

This is an alliance of fringe fascist groups, old conservatives, and many other right-wing ideologies that comprise what we call American Conservatism.

But hey, factions changes parties and actions have paradoxical effects. We need to be able to speak and debate freely and not let things fester in the dark , but we also need to show respect and tolerance, even in a conversation about the KKK.

We have seen the pushback against inequality too many times and fought too many wars to get it wrong again. Today they are in the Republican Party, yesterday they used to be Democrats, that is because factions, ideologies, voter issues, and voter bases of parties change over time as Roosevelts come in and out of our lives.

Fact Myth. Yes, you listed off a bunch of progressives some, like Wilson, Dixiecrats progressives from the south. Today, the gentleman from Alabama would most likely be GOP, just like all the others like him are today.

You see, when the Democratic Party was the party of the South, and when it was the progressive era, Wilson was the man who represented all the factions of the Democratic party. He was a southern progressive, and he was a solid south conservative intellectual. He helped ensure a strong south economically with social programs, and he pass progressive legislation for the rest of the party. He helped win WWI, and although he was a bit of bigot, we can also remember him as an important politician scientist and president.

So you bash them, and they vote for you anyways…. And really, that was all anyone was ever asking for. Would be nice to see some more reformed solid southerners. I mean if it was me, the whole mentality of the northern alt-right would be wearing on me. At least have the conservative south standing on their own two feet instead of bending down for the Know-Nothings from their golden towers in new York city. The rebel flag for me is not a great symbol, but if it stands for one thing, does it not stand for a middle finger to the NYC elite who want central banks and central control… from their towers in the city?

Also Gore, LBJ, and more. Allies of the south or Dixiecrats from the Democratic Party of old before the switch. AKA the point of the essay above. Senator Byrd will years after he was dead was still will be a KKK member. So love blatant lies. Which, of course he did, they took away his Jim Crow. Now go color in your big boy coloring book. Yeah, well I appreciate the compliment, but I am right and am very knowledge on the subject.

Dare you to argue facts and not just spew ad hominems. I would start, but like, whole page on the subject is featured above. So please refute that with specifics. Free soil position was that states should decide. At the time they were accused of saying one thing, but having many memebers that acted another way.

All but 3 of the Dixiecrats went back to the Democrat party and were Democrats for life. So the south goes from blue to red, not because individual representatives changed parties, but because seats are replaced by the opposite party as the voter base switches.

It is complex, but I would argue that the article is correct. I think most reasonable people can use that resource to get a sense of whether or not my facts line up. Going back in time, maybe though I could have done better with the citations.

I do hear the argument against Wikipedia a lot, even though in my mind it is a reasonable thing to cite. Your anaylses are wrong. It is the view held by the majority and the majority is almost always wrong. You do the same with big government equals freedom! You will undoubtedly reinforce the beliefs of the naivete.

From reading your article and your responses to people. You will justify your article because you believe it to be true. The Democrats will not against the government. And it was passed in by a majority of Republicans not Democrats. Which destroys your whole switch Theory on top of which the party never switched. And the south started becoming Republican when they supporting Reagan in the 80s. Are you trying to leave everybody to believe that the racist Southerners who supported Reagan because the South was more racist in and it was a ?

For the record, I strongly disagree with your stance and given the time and attention am able to prove it wrong. The parties changed over time. The change is slow, but the result is so drastic you can see it on the map I feature these maps many times above. How do we discuss the reality that the solid conservative south the southern bloc social conservatives used to vote side-by-side with progressives although often in disagreement on issues?

How do we discuss how Thomas Jefferson Supported this faction then although with disagreements? Why would the extreme antifa favor the left and maybe Bernie over Trump and the extreme right neo nazis favor the right and maybe Trump over Bernie today these groups are small, but we know clearly which group favors which party?

It helps explain our story, but it does not change what happened! A voting map shows us the political history of the south from when the Confederacy was the strongest until today, the south changed from being solidly blue to solidly red. We have to acknowledge that change and what it means, and then we can debate from there. There are much better texts out there from people who do the south far more justice anyway.

NOTE: There is one extra problem here. If I start absolving the conservative south of the Confederacy. Say maybe we have a statue destroying party. I mean, we will get a Charlottesville, right? The reality is the southern conservative who votes for Trump today knows darn well their own history stretches between parties. This makes this whole argument a little silly. From there it should be another hint that I am right.

What, giving a basic rundown of history? If the Prussian is teaching American history, then perhaps. Hah, big switch? Is this how simple minded and easily fooled people are these days? And the recent new switch in the last decade of promoting a border wall and enforced immigration laws to now being completely lax on any ICE enforcement is more of the same.

After people see failed policy after failed policy come to fruition, the Dems are consistently needing a new voter base. From Woodrow Wilson to present, the Democratic party seems like they are doing anything they can to hurt the USA in order to create a single global government, while claiming and having children as well as simple people fall for the hook that it is all in the name of altruism.

This switch was very big. It was, a big switch. The best arguments in my opinion are ones that are rooted in explaining why the switch was made, not ones that try to argue that there was no switch because there was and it is pretty clearly documented. That is sort of just a generic pro-Trump talking point. Feel free to offer citations. Otherwise, see my other comment. This is a generic pro-dem talking point. Dems are liberal disasters with a history of racism and corruption.

History is history. Seems like an odd strategy. That part is for sure wrong. Democrats have always been the party of slavery. Just look at how well Black America has done under Dem policies.

Your comment is 1. As for how black Americans have done, as a group I think we can agree neither party did enough for them. However, especially in from the progressive era forward progressives and liberals have generally fought for civil rights.

Given that the Democratic party has generally been the party that the progressive and liberal factions gathered in, and given that that faction even drove out the socially conservative southern faction over the course of the 20th century, I would say that the Democratic party especially by today has done far more and continues to do far more good.

But look, any progressive will tell you not enough has been done. The idea that progressives have, where they want to expand healthcare, workers rights, jobs, etc.

That is aimed at helping everyone, and that for sure includes African American communities. Prison reform, the way we prosecute drug crimes, etc… so much you know, all focused on human rights. Meanwhile the GOP is the party that supports the confederate statues staying up and has the majority vote in the states that made up the Confederacy. Democrats need to apologize and beg forgiveness every day and pay reparations for their evils.

Not because they are Americans. But because they are democrats. Maybe the south and Democrats can apologize together. Considering the southern leaders in the gop, I could then see this as both modern parties apologizing. Maybe they can take down a few statues at the apology event? Yeah, I specifically disagree with his point of view. I realized as i did these articles that a lot of misinformation was coming from him.

Not a fan to say the least, find his work very misleading and disingenuous. I would be curious to know if he believed what he said or if he was just purely political and pandering. I set out to prove him wrong, i wanted to shut him up and expose him as a liar. Nothing he said had made sense, in fact it was basically the exact opposite of what i KNEW was the truth. What kind of a person would lie so blatantly, turning history on its head?

I mean, how could anyone say the things he was saying with a straight face. So i understand your position, i really do. Pandering such as those on permanent welfare to those that should be working. Yup, I get it now! I mean, facts are facts, and myths are myths. Things have changed drastically over the years since that was true. They are trying their darnedest to become fascist authoritarians, and are already entrenched in at least one major news source, where they can sit there, smiling, and lie to even more people every day.

The concept is nauseating, but they are obviously managing to sell it to a pretty large minority of the populace. I have been a student of history among other subjects my whole life. Dixon's fawning adoration for the Klan, presented less than a half-century after the American Civil War , begins to revive the long-dormant organization. Griffith's wildly popular film "Birth of a Nation," an adaptation of Dixon's "The Clansman, " revives national interest in the Klan.

A Georgia lynch mob led by William J. Simmons—and including numerous prominent but anonymous members of the community, such as former Georgia Gov. The Klan becomes a more public organization and expands its platform to include Prohibition , anti-Semitism, xenophobia , anti-Communism, and anti-Catholicism. Spurred on by the romanticized white supremacist history portrayed in "Birth of a Nation," bitter White people throughout the country begin to form local Klan groups.

Indiana Klan Grand Dragon D. Stephenson is convicted of murder. Members subsequently begin to realize that they may actually face criminal charges for their behavior, and the Klan largely disappears—except in the South, where local groups continue to operate. Both are killed in the blast. The murders are the first high-profile Southern Klan killings among many during the s, s, and s—most of which either go unprosecuted or result in acquittals by juries of all White people.

The Mississippi chapter of the Ku Klux Klan firebombs 20 predominantly Black churches, and then with the aid of local police murders civil rights activists James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner. Edgar Ray Killen, the architect of the Chaney-Goodman-Schwerner murders, is convicted on manslaughter charges and sentenced to 60 years in prison.
