After the Civil War blacks were given the right to vote. Some states did not agree with this and were still succeeded from the Union. These states were mostly in the Southern United States. They were known as the Confederate States of America or the CSA. These states were Democratic states.
Within the state of Texas rose this fierce military group that were to carry out the wishes of those in authority of the CSA. This military group was and still is known as the Klu Klux Klan or KKK.
The sum of it all is that the Democratic Party organized and formed their own private military group to kill all those that were active in Republican politics, the education of black children and to kill blacks.
From 1882 - 1964 the KKK have been responsible for the deaths of approximately 3,500 blacks and 1,300 whites.
