This doesn't seem to be written in encyclopedeic tone, I lifted it from the article:

His father had been a Klansman in the first KKK
just read this in Allen W. Trelease, White Terror (1995), p. 421? i think this should be added. --91.66.189.224 (talk) 23:52, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree that should be added Thesouthernhistorian45 (talk) 17:56, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Political affiliation
What, if any, was his political affiliation? Since the original KKK was founded by Confederate DEMOCRAT veterans, I feel that knowing Simmons' political affiliation is relevant. 2600:8800:395:B000:3DB9:E7DB:8A1E:C296 (talk) 19:42, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The KKK in which Simmons was involved was not the same KKK as was crushed during Reconstruction. This version of the KKK included supporters in both major parties (and non-partisan types as well). For example, the KKK played a crucial role in electing Ralph Owen Brewster as governor of Maine as a Republican. Since we do not have sources as to Simmons' personal political affiliation, it is not included in the article.--User:Namiba 20:04, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
