The night riders and the klan were not governmental agencies.
The average Southerner hated Northerners and Blacks much more than the Tea Party hates liberals. The election of 1860 would have shown at least some measurable support for Republicans if the average Southerner soldier was the simple draftee you claim they were.

Your attempt to elide personal responsibility from the enforcement of slavery and "negro" oppression is part and parcel with lost cause apologetics.

But at least you admit tyranny. To bad you can't show private ownership of firearms ending it.
