Dallas School District has a school names after Sidney Lanier who is a an author of a poem defending the Ku Klux Klan. He did about 4 attacking Reconstruction. I am organizing my research material for a report on Lanier.
This is the poem. What Lanier is saying is that the Reconstruction policies of the Grant Administration are to blame for antagonizing the South and for the organization of the Ku Klux Klan. In short the attempt to have a multiracial democracy is an unreasonable aggravation causing the Ku Klux Klan to be organized. Lanier was a white supremacist who used his poetry to fight for white supremacy.
