Forrest used the Clan after the war but told them to disband because of the bloodshed. He then went to Congress and testified about the problems of reconstruction as well as about the Clan. Then spelled with a C.

He was not a founder but he was the first national leader. The KKK is on its third incarnation.

The title Wizard is a tribute to Forrest but he did disband the first clan in the late 1860s.
