>> Who left the Klan and asked that his name be taken from association with them in 1869 because of the direction the Klan was going <<

You should really get a job with the West Virginia Democratic Party. You'd make an excellent Robert Byrd apologist. ('See, he left the KKK after a little while... so that makes it okay, now can we get back to bashing the evil capitalist Republicans?')

The Klan done what they thought they had to right after the WBTS. Your union occupation troops and radical reconstruction ways was what made it needed. It got out a hand, but Forrest didn't mean for it to go that way. And he aint the one that formed it in the first place. He was probly the first wizard but knowbody even knows for sure.

Comparing the Klan right after the war and what you see today is like comparing the NAACP of the early 20's with Kweisi Enfume an his bunch a idiots.

Forrest is a hero and more a man than you'd a ever faced.

And billbears: why run off like a scared rat when this puff a hot air tries to wave a gutless race flag? The Klan wasnt right, but nothin was right in those first few years after the war. You know that. We may not a been right in all we done but we did what we thought we had to do.
