Makiki123, I regret to tell you that you are wrong.  The KKK was started by a group of Confederate veterans who happened to be Democrats.   The KKK engaged in terrorist raids against blacks and white Republicans at night, employing intimidation, destruction of property, assault, and murder to achieve its aims and influence upcoming elections. In a few Southern states, Republicans organized militia units to break up the Klan.  Its first Grand Wizard was former Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Democrat, who in 1868 was a pledged delegate from Tennessee to the New York Democratic National Convention.
