JIM AND MARK ARE CORRECT ON ALL POINTS AND I AGREE THIS SWORD IS MOST PROBABLY JUST A SWORD FROM ONE OF THE MANY FRATERNAL ORGANIZATIONS WHICH HAVE EXHISTED FAR INTO MANS PAST.
ONE MUST REALIZE DURING THE TIME IN WHICH THIS ORGANIZATION WAS FIRST FORMED THE SOUTH HAD BEEN CONQURED AND THE PEOPLE WERE TREATED AS HATED AND CONQUERED ENEMIES. MANY INJUSTICES WERE COMITTED BY THE CONQUERS WHO HAD NO LOVE OR MERCY FOR THEM. THE CONQUERS GOT TO WRITE THE HISTORY OF THIS PERIOD AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE AND NATURALLY MADE THEMSELVES THE WHITE KNIGHTS. THERE WERE CARPETBAGGERS OF EVERY KIND FLOCKING FROM THE NORTH TO PICK THE CARCASS OF THE DEFEATED SOUTH AND THE LAW WAS ON THEIR SIDE JUST AS IT WAS ALWAYS ON THE SIDE OF THE WHITES IN REGARD TO NATIVE AMERICANS. THE PECKING ORDER CHANGED AND THE CONQUERES WERE AT THE TOP ALL OTHERS BELOW THEM AND SUBJECT TO THEIR ORDERS. NO DOUBT THERE WERE NUMEROUS SECRET UNDERGROUND ORGINIZATIONS FORMED DURING THIS TIME TO TRY AND PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THOSE WHO WERE NOT FAIR OR GOOD GENERALS OR MAGISTRATES IN CHARGE OF THEIR AREAS. THE PLAN WAS TO CRUSH THE SOUTH AND CONTROL IT SO IT WOULD NEVER BE FREE TO RISE AGAIN.
THANKFULLY THIS PERIOD HAS LONG PASSED AND THINGS HAVE WORKED OUT AND WE HAVE ONE COUNTRY WHICH IS AS IT SHOULD BE. THE TIME AND REASONS FOR SUCH MILITANT SOCIETYS HAS PAST NEVER TO RETURN AGAIN I HOPE.
TO EVEN MAKE ANY STATEMENT ON THIS TRUE OR NOT IS VERY RISKY DUE TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS , BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT OFTEN CAUSES DIFFERENCES AND MISUNDERSTANDING IS THE FAILURE TO COMUNICATE. SO I STICK MY NECK OUT HERE AND GIVE MY VIEW.
TO ANSWER THE UNASKED QUESTION NO I DO NOT BELONG TO OR APPROVE OF THE KKK, NOR DO I WISH THE NATION TO BE TORN APART AND THE SOUTH RISE AGAIN.
