Bigot

BIG'OT, noun

1. A person who is obstinately and unreasonably wedded to a particular religious creed, opinion, practice or ritual. The word is sometimes used in an enlarged sense, for a person who is illiberally attached to any opinion, or system of belief; as a bigot to the Mohammedan religion; a bigot to a form of government.

2. A venetian liquid measure containing the fourth part of the amphor, or half the boot.

BIG'OT
Webster's Dictionary 1828 - Online Edition
Websters Dictionary 1828 - Webster's Dictionary 1828 - bigot

Words evolve. This definition predates the civil war. Label someone a bigot and see how warmly they are treated by the group they hate. Try explaining to the hated group you are using the word as it was understood in 1828. That will work.
