Nathan Bedford Forrest

Forrest was the first "Grand Wizard", or leader, of the Ku Klux Klan, a secret white supremacy organization dedicated to preventing minorities from functioning properly in society. They are mainly against blacks and Jews, but will target any non-white ethnicity. In the Civil War, Forrest performed hateful war crimes, slaughtering hundreds of black Union soldiers. After the war, he joined the KKK, and was thought of to be the Grand Wizard. He composed and lead many white supremacy missions and acts across the South, most notably Tennessee.
