The Maryland-based Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan had planned a rally at Gettysburg Saturday, but their plans were thwarted by the government shutdown.
Despite public outrage, the KKK members last week were granted a permit for Saturday's rally at the famous Civil War site.
“The National Park Service mission in preserving and protecting the historic resources at Gettysburg includes making them available to all Americans, even those whose views are contrary to the majority of the American public,” the Park Service said had said in a statement at the time.
But after Congress forced a partial government shutdown, the Park Service on Tuesday rescinded all permits.
