比如说,这篇关于KKK的Wikipedia的介绍,你先读读我所摘录的几个事实性论述,再去读它带有作者观点的全文,看看有什么反差。
"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"
The first Klan had mixed results in terms of achieving its objectives. It seriously weakened the black political establishment through its use of assassinations and threats of violence; it drove some people out of politics. On the other hand, it caused a sharp backlash, with passage of federal laws that historian Eric Foner says were a success in terms of "restoring order, reinvigorating the morale of Southern Republicans, and enabling blacks to exercise their rights as citizens"
Historian George C. Rable argues that the Klan was a political failure and therefore was discarded by the Democratic leaders of the South. He says: "the Klan declined in strength in part because of internal weaknesses; its lack of central organization and the failure of its leaders to control criminal elements and sadists. More fundamentally,it declined because it failed to achieve its central objective – the overthrow of Republican state governments in the South."
