I originally posted this over on the History forum, feeling a little research into the origin of the KKK and it's place in history was in order, and stated that it could be moved here if the moderator failed to deduce that angle, but, instead, that genius just closed it.
So, let's try again:
I was watching the "Grant" series on History Channel and they discussed the KK Act that gave Grant, as President, the right to use martial law/forces to combat the KKK. That organization was originally a de facto insurgency effort to continue the Confederate cause after the surrender.
Is there a parallel to today's groups, such as BLM or Antifa, etc? Are they merely outraged citizens expressing their constitutional rights to assembly and free speech? Is burning, bombing or occupying govt buildings what is meant by "the right to petition the govt?"
How, in principle, not details, is BLM or Antifa different than the KKK?
