Who was a famous member or members of the KKK?

Answer 1

Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general officer, is generally considered to be the founder of the Klan. At times the more traditional spelling Clan- originally Scottish and meaning a family or tribe- like the Mclellan CLAN, etc. The father of the novelist Robert ( I think) Dixon was a KKK officer. (he had also been a confederate trooper) Dixon is best known for his novel, The Clansman, which was later Retitled (The Birth of A Nation) and made into a famous and controversial historical film circa l9l5. It is fairly obvious that George Wallace was a white-sheet man. Interestingly enough there is no truth to the very popular misunderstanding- as he was the best-known Rebel General, that Robert E. Lee founded the KKK or was a primary member or organizer, neither is true. there may have been chapters named in his honor but that is not the same thing.

Answer 2

The most famous leader of the Ku Klux Klan was probably the first and only leader of the original incarnation of the Klan, Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Other famous Klan leaders include Hiram Wesley Evans who lead the second incarnation of the Klan during it's all time peak membership period in the 1920's, former Louisiana State Representative David Duke known as a self described "racial realist", and the leader of Mississippi's "the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" Samuel Bowers who is commenly believed to have been the most violant and radical Klan leader of all.
