The federal government shutdown has forced the cancellation of a planned Ku Klux Klan rally at the site of the battle of Gettysburg.
The Maryland-based Confederate White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan had a permit for an October 5 demonstration at the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.
