the Southern Democrats and the
Klan it birthed, became Republicans in 1962. Literally, both Parties merged into one nationwide. The Democrats, being rid of the Klan supporting racists in the party, became more progressive.
There is your lesson for today.

southern conservatives started the KKK. Just like southern conservatives, today are racists and traitors wrapped in confederate flags.

The Southerners did that because they wanted to keep racism.
Now the Republicans want to bring it back.
Try to keep up.
