[Marxism] Blacks versus the New Deal

[Mark Lause]

Point taken, though getting votes for a Catholic on the national
ticket isn't quite the same as drawing one's membership and local
leadership from Catholics, as was suggested for Cincinnati.  I'd be
really surprised if someone could do the digging to show that.

The book I've been working on has grown, in part, from a conference
paper I gave a couple of years ago, one argument of which was that the
original KKK grew from the earlier Knights of the Golden Circle.  The
KGC was an anti-Catholic, white supremacist, pro-expansionist
organization that used disguised night riders to attempt to enforce
their will on their neighbors.  And their areas of documented activity
wound up corresponding roughly to the later areas of strength for the
KKK.
