It was so they could larp around as knights with the horse barding.

/fa/ as fuck, absolutely iconic. I can see why someone who dresses like this wouldn't get it though

>>18138613
barding is armor, this is livery

Makes sense. In the 19th century, your neighbors would recognize the breed of horse you owned just like car models today. The guys in the photo look like the mid 20th century LARP iteration of the KKK though. So this is just gay theater.

Your picture is from the second Klan, which was so overwhelmingly popular at its height that people usually openly affiliated themselves with it rather than hide their identities.The elaborate getup wasn't about disguise, it was LARP.

>>18139349
A SCOTUS Judge and Hillary's mentor were proud Klansmen.
W. Wilson even had a White House screening of Birth of a Nation.

>>18139359
My forefathers were all Klansmen starting back in 1865. If only Lincoln could see his own legacy in 1915.

>>18138642
Many Jews preferred the South over the North though.

>>18139396
Yes, we all know the south had one Jew in its cabinet so it was a Jew state or something Thank you

>>18139396
All those synagogues in the 19th century Deep South…

>>18138642
>>18139408
The Confederate States had the first ever Jew to ever be elected to senate and to hold cabinet position in North America. Judah P. Benjamin served as Confederacy's Secretary of War and then as the Secretary of State.

>one jew does a thing
>entire territory is now jewish

>>18139502
Don't you guys typically portray the jews as responsible for slavery? Now you go against your own narrative when it's no longer convenient?

What made the second klan a larp?

>>18139518
It was largely inspired by the film Birth of a Nation, and while Klan 2.0 gained a lot of mainstream political power, especially in the Midwest, they were LARPing wussies in ghost costumes compared to the violent reconstruction era terrorist groups. More of a fraternal lodge and pyramid scheme than killer gang, obsessed with selling titles and Klan swag, they collapsed in financial and sexual scandals as quickly as they grew.

you can actually recognize horses, if not by their faces then their patches

>>18138642
/thread

also Klansmen were highly intelligent men often with university education, families and a vested interest in their community

they knew exactly what would happen after desegregation, that it was a terrible mistake which would objectively make white people's lives worse and they have been completely vindicated

all this "HURR DURR CLEETUS" propaganda rammed down people's throats is rather obvious, are you really that shuttered

>>18139518
The OG Klan were freedom fighters of sorts who just wanted to target Union soldiers who were occupying their land and mistreating civilians. Second klan from 1915 were people who saw a DW Griffith film and wore Klan costumes because they enjoyed it. The third iteration of the Klan was even less of a larp than the 15 one because Klan 3 was about targeting civil rights protestors

>>18139582
So they were just good ol' boys who dindu nuffin?

>>18139551
Desegregation wasn’t a thing in 1865. Original Klan was about targeting soldier outposts and carpetbaggers

>>18139582
Klan 2.0 actively targeted Blacks, Catholics and Liquorists.

>>18139514
No, I don’t. That’s what you’re doing.

Redditors on 4chan will pretend that the best way to own the jews is to fellate niggers and give them everything. They're unwilling to break with any of their jewish programming, but have to put on an anti-jew façade because israel is the current thing. This leads to the absolutely schizophrenic assertions you'll see on this board.

>>18139589
KKK didn't dress like OP in 1865

>>18139588
We were told they are equal and giving them free shit would make them IQ 100 and low crime like white folks, yet it has been decades with zero improvement. Deseg resulted in an enormous uptick in rape, murder and theft and black people voting in elections to push DEI and "defund police" and other bullshit, black people have done nothing but make white people suffer nonstop since and have been a net economic loss to the United States. And whomst was trying to warn us about this all along? The kindly Klansman.

>>18139402
>>18139502
It's not about that. Most Jews during the early and mid 19th century were farmers and the traditionalist Evangelical, agricultural South was better for their skills and generally more similar to their way of life. Also Southern Evangelicals probably liked the Jews more than the Jews themselves.

>>18139669
where is this picture from?

>>18139665
the white southerner addiction to blacks must be studied
the problem they complain so much about would not exist without them

>>18139518
The actual legit KKK was made up of veterans and southerners who actually had a stake in losi g the war at the time. They were a group of revanchists with a legitimate goal of reinstating slavery and sabotaging the Union.

Everything afterwards is just a mish-mash of loosely related ideology that unites under the banner of "American libertarianism except we hate niggers".

>>18139657
>Redditors
Rent free. How did ribit mindbroken 4chong so hard?

>>18139458
Did the KKK ever advocate for slavery? It seems that anti Confederate but pro KKK is a perfectly consistent position.

>>18139518
They were literally a bunch of proto-marvel soiboys larping as the characters from a movie they saw

Reminder that the Union barred Southern men from political life while giving niggers literally 2 generations removed from oogabooga savagery voting rights.

>>18139937
Reminder that posts like this are made by Indians who have never seen a nigger in their life and live off of SAVE EVROPA Instagram accounts.

what do you mean specifically, were certain southerners barred from running for office during reconstruction

why do the people who say this shit never post crime stats over time?

>>18140932
Yes, most people of all races and religions worked in agriculture until the industrial revolution really kicked in.

Imagine if a group of nerds after watching Star Wars decided to form a secret society of Sith that wants to control the government, install an Emperor, and build a Death Star and somehow this group of nerds actually get some political power for awhile, even having some governors and Senators in their pocket. That was basically the second Klan with Birth of a Nation. The second Klan founder was a giant nerd for clubs. He joined everything just so he could say he was a member.
