ED SCHULTZ (08 OCTOBER 2013): Your take on what we're facing right now in this country.

JESSE JACKSON: Looking at the resize of the Confederacy, the same group narrowly conceived -- anti-labor, anti-racial justice, anti-gender equality, anti-the big American dream, that tried to take us down in 1860. It was the Fort Sumter tea party, its progenitor, and Lincoln had to fight a war to establish the Union from them and to end slavery. This is the resurrection of the Confederacy.
