Answer 2

Nathan Bedford Forrest

Step-by-step explanation:

He was a Confederate commander in the American Civil War. He was born on July 13, 1821 in Tennesse. Under his command, his troops massacred the African American Union Troops stationed on Fort Pillow. In the early years of Reconstruction, he became the first leader or "great wizard" of the KKK, founded in 1865 as a social club. His military prestige made a lot of people join them.
