the US citizens have the right to be armed to an extent which allows them to remove bad governments.

At a boy Ted get their first with the most.that's why Nathan Forest entered service as a private and left a general. He did not found the kkk but did anyone really expect southerns would put up with being threatened by armed gangs and carpet baggers?

Nathan Forrest wasn't the founder of the KKK, he was a Confederate general who massacred black POWs at Fort Pillow.

Remember Fort Pillow, Congressman Poe.

He did not found the KKK. He joined because he was super pissed after the south lost the war. And he saw the KKK as a Dixie resistance group. He left after they got violent

You stupid morons. Forrest was not no more racist than old Abe. Forrest was not the founder of the KKK, and the original KKK was not what we would call a hate group but what we would call a terrorist group. Where Brave Confederate men would kill Yankee soldiers and burn Union supporters houses down. And Guess what Southerners will never say sorry for the Yankee dead. [><] Burn in hell Yankees Suck Satan's Cock while your down there too. Fuck the Union Fuck your flag and fuck your god damn bird!
