You would be lying. However, the KKK may have saved he Democratic Party after the end of the Civil War.
From the History Channel:
A group including many former Confederate veterans founded the first branch of the Ku Klux Klan as a social club in Pulaski, Tennessee, in 1866. The first two words of the organization’s name supposedly derived from the Greek word “kyklos,” meaning circle. In the summer of 1867, local branches of the Klan met in a general organizing convention and established what they called an “Invisible Empire of the South.” Leading Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest was chosen as the first leader, or “grand wizard,” of the Klan; he presided over a hierarchy of grand dragons, grand titans and grand cyclopses.

You have an obvious disorder Tutu......
You like to rewrite history.

Try some TRUTH on for size once in awhile....

 
The first Klan flourished in the Southern United States in the late 1860s, then died out by the early 1870s. It sought to overthrow the Republican state governments in the South during the Reconstruction Era...
Klan groups spread throughout the South as an insurgent movement promoting resistance and white supremacy during the Reconstruction Era.....
As a secret vigilante group, the Klan targeted freedmen and their allies; it sought to restore white supremacy by threats and violence, including murder, against black and white Republicans....

Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders. Though Congress passed legislation designed to curb Klan terrorism, the organization saw its primary goal–the reestablishment of white supremacy–fulfilled through Democratic victories in state legislatures across the South in the 1870s

I am not trying to rewrite anything. The professor stated that the Democratic Party started the KKK. It certainly was a group of Democrats but not the party. As I stated, the KKK and other terrorist groups at the time probably saved the Democratic party. That and down playing that without President Johnson the civil rights act in 1964 would have never passed were the only things I had any disagreement with her on.
