'''Nathan Bedford Forrest''' (July 13th, 1821 - October 29th, 1877) was the first supposed Grand Wizard of the [[Ku Klux Klan]]. He was a Civil War Confederate general who is known for a massacre of 300 black Union troops under his command. Forrest later formed the Ku Klux Klan during the Reconstruction period after the end of the [[American Civil War]] to regulate supposed northern injustices. He later left the organization under the supposition that they began to become unnecessarily violent. Reveled as a villain to many, he is still celebrated by some for his service to the Confederacy and the "southern cause".
