    It won’t “rise again” but the spirit of it absolutely has resurfaced in other forms, and will continue too so long as a significant number of people in this country identify with white supremacy and abject hatred.

    The original KKK were effectively the remnants of the Confederate army + new recruits. And it’s continued to find new banners in the generations since.

      It very much depends on what you mean when you say “the spirit of it,” which I think you have to admit, is open to a lot of interpretation.
