Many members of the KKK are just like you describe: GI Joe Phelps, good Christians spreading Jesus' message of love--with ATTITUDE!I'm sorry if I was unclear, vyo, my intent was not to denigrate your grasp of history but to point out that what is taught is not taught to keep us from making the same mistakes over again. The winners re-write history to make themselves look good. Cultures re-write history to justify their hates and abuses. Governments re-write history to do all of the above things and to help control a fractious population. Read everything you lay hand on, read from all the different perspectives you can find, and then make up your own mind about what to believe. Good luck.
