Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821- 1877) was a <strong>Confederate calvary commander</strong>during the U.S. Civil War. "His command was responsible for the massacre of African American Union troops stationed at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, in April 1864, and he served as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the early years of Reconstruction."
