In the second paragraph it says that the Klan opposed Republican governed states, but Abraham Lincoln was a republican, and the segregationist's party at the time were Democrat aligned officials. It's blatant false, or reversed. 184.157.241.145 (talk) 02:26, 30 November 2024 (UTC) [reply ]

They are not Christian.

[edit ]

They are Neo-Pagan mostly who dress as wizards that burn crosses as a ritual specifically in spite of God. Why do they use racist symbols rooted in paganism? 2603:8080:D1F0:1AD0:9C28:F987:9D6F:96F3 (talk) 08:34, 25 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

1928 presidential election

[edit ]

In the subsection Resistance and decline, why does it say:

"In the 1928 presidential election, the state voters overcame their initial opposition to the Catholic candidate Al Smith and voted the Democratic Party line as usual."?

There is not citation or explanation with this sentence. Al Smith lost the 1928 election by a landslide. States like Florida, Texas, Virginia, and North Carolina which typically went for the Democratic party in the early 20th c. (see Solid South) went Republican in 1928. The article on the 1928 presidential election says that anti-Catholic sentiment was a major factor in Smith's loss and includes several sources to support this. Unless someone has a source to back the claim that "voters overcame their initial opposition to the Catholic candidate Al Smith and voted the Democratic Party line as usual", I think it should be removed from the article.

Political affiliate is far left extremist. Look up the democrats after Abraham Lincoln (republican) abolished slavery. 108.216.102.184 (talk) 00:59, 8 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
