This was a shameful part of history. This is why schools should talk more about American history instead of trying to erase it, so that we can learn from the past.
Oh please most of America wants to argue about the fact that slavery was the main reason for the civil war. They want to make it about states rights ignoring the fact of what rights were they being denied. Sure they had other complaints but they were all wrapped up in slavery so I don't really care about those other complaints.
@HouseholdDog what does silly thing to say. History is political. You can't talk about the KKK without talking about their political affiliations. What you want is a whitewash version of History. Let me guess the civil war was about states rights. What rights would those be.
I still don't get how being poor and downtrodden = let's be racist. Like why does that leap happen, what's the connection. If you wanna blame someone for firing you, blame the ones who did the firing 😮 🤷♂️
The elites dont care about the working class & poor anymore than European kings cared about thier serfs back in the day. One day theyll listen to the "canary in the coal mine" 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah there were probably several hundred far right wing groups in the country at that time and a whole lot of them if not most were offshoots of the KKK, which was unbelievably highly popular but lost popularity by the end of the previous decade. The Black Legion was probably the most dangerous of the groups. That was a time when a lot of reactionary white Americans really felt threatened that they would lose control of the country.
I heard about the movie The Black Legion with Humphrey Bogart. I am very shocked that this movie has been made in that period and past the censors. After all, movies that highlight racism, terrorism and hate is hard to made during that time. I hope this movie gets released in home video format.
I remember learning about this in AP U.S History back in 2014-15. There was something like this in Louisiana specifically as well. I don't remember the name.
Only 48 comments speaks volumes since inside edition reporting on the kkk the racist that frequent this channel either will say it was in the past get over it or say why is this news because the past effected the future and the kkk just didn’t disappear and I also like too point out sundown towns still exist today.
Bruh this is not physics, there isn’t an “equal and opposite reaction” for all racism lol also there is no “reverse racism” since it goes all ways, anyone can be racist to anyone else. That’s such a dumb saying.
Like criminal gangs, extremist groups have to choose their battles wisely. The more "reasonable" members must've realized that the Chicago Outfit was too powerful, and it had the backing of corrupt members of law enforcement and the judiciary.
She's really smart. Wish my history teacher was as interesting & entertaining. Bogart movie looks good. Good video and enlightening. Really important to document this horrid history so we learn.
Funny enough there were many masked and costumed groups like that around. The baldknobbers for example, who were a vigilante group, wore horned hoods, and they were opposed by the anti-baldknobbers.
You asked "but why bring it up now ?" Because, as it shows at the end of the video, a substantial enough portion of the "dominant majority" ( -white Americans- ) will turn to reactionary extremism if they feel that either their livelihood or their perceived sense of superiority is threatened and they want scapegoats ( i.e. liberals, black people, other non-whites, immigrants, jewish people, lgbt, etc). We see that now in the age of Trumpism with all of these new far right wing alt-right groups like the "oath keepers" "proud boys" etc. That's why this history is brought up.
3:46 the “southern democrats” lived about 50 miles from Canada and were basically at the same latitude as NYC.. I guess anything can fit your narrative if you lie about it👍
I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
😮💨 For a moment, I thought this was current. You scare me for a minute. C'mon Inside Edition, you're digging history from the archives just to make news?
For a moment, you're being willfully obtuse if you didn't bother to watch the video where at the end it definitely shows how in the present day there will be a rise in far right wing groups in times like this with Donald Trump. C'mon @firefly2508

If they could teach it without trying to politicise the students. It wouldn't be an issue.

@@HouseholdDogHow is it politicized? Isn't racism considered a bad thing by all political parties?
You just had "mostly peaceful protests" that burned down entire city blocks and killed hundreds. You're living in more shameful times.
The Ghost & Pirates were working together!?!? 😱😱😱

Ignorance. Lack of education. The system is designed to pit poor people against each other
I can't believe I have never heard about this

American history tends to hide their mistakes, it’s not until you enter college or self studies you find the true horrors of what happened here
WHat's sad is that haters don't see who the real enemy is: rich people!
Yet there is a building named after Hoover, isn't there? That is a disgrace!
Yes the FBI building in DC is named after Hoover 🤦♂️🤬.
The more I hear about Hoover, the more shameful this individual seems to have been. This is not the only questionable act of this person.
I’m 19 and very educated, yet I’ve never heard of any of these guys until today, it’s crazy man we need more people to learn about this

Even my parents parents werent alive yet.

I wonder what the "reverse racism" of this would be according to the yts? 🧐
Fictional character getting race swapped & jokes that hurt thier feelings
Bruh this is not physics, there isn’t an “equal and opposite reaction” for all racism lol also there is no “reverse racism” since it goes all ways, anyone can be racist to anyone else. That’s such a dumb saying.
Answer: YTES having the exact same thing done to them. That's reverse r. Happens a lot with job loss now.
That’s horrible
I never actually heard about this whole thing. Such a tragic history that happened in this unstable world all because of slavery.
Ephesians 6 Bible says that our Fight is against Wickedness and Corrupt Authorities! FIGHT BACK!
Imagine they tried to kill Al Capone

They weren't strong enough to go toe-to-toe with his organization, which also had the support of corrupt members of law enforcement and the judiciary.
Thanks FBA and others for your battle against this organization.
I like history, like to see a movie, I never heard of this group before.
Not patchy the pirate from SpongeBob
She's really smart. Wish my history teacher was as interesting & entertaining. Bogart movie looks good.
Good video and enlightening. Really important to document this horrid history so we learn.
As much as they talk about this stuff… surprised I never heard of this. They love talking about it
This is sick and sad
Never heard of this, I just think they look so dumb and funny with those pirate hats lol
UNTIL YOU ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AND FIGHT SATAN WITH PRAYER AND BIBLE READING THINGS WON'T CHANGE.
Funny enough there were many masked and costumed groups like that around. The baldknobbers for example, who were a vigilante group, wore horned hoods, and they were opposed by the anti-baldknobbers.
Is Lima, Ohio today considered A SUNDOWN TOWN?
Thank you, inside edition and reporter! I've known 4 yrs--"ohio is the heart of it all"!
I bet a lot of people haven’t heard about but why bring it up now ?

This new to me I never knew this happened
The question is why not. It is an important part of our history, albeit an awful one.
🎉 great old story 🎉 thanks for the history repeat
This was real? I though Humphrey Bogart was just acting in a movie.
3:46 the “southern democrats” lived about 50 miles from Canada and were basically at the same latitude as NYC.. I guess anything can fit your narrative if you lie about it👍
What? They were referring to Democratic lawmakers who dominated southern states like Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia.
Please watch and listen to the video again. Use the subtitles if you have to.

I like their silly little pirate hats
Anything secret should be illegal
Hmmm I don't think you fully thought this through
@@RoolSkoolnope they didn’t
Thats a stupid generalization.

Way to exaggerate the numbers, even google calls out 135,000 at most wee black legion
It was a disgusting thing. Why sweep it under the rug? Let people see the human potential for disgusting behavior so they can reject it.
You Europeans don't want a race war as much as y'all talk 😂 y'all only tough on TH-cam smh
Yes, because google has access to all the FBI, CIA, DOJ contacts and information they have... 🙄🙄🙄
