The Ku Klux Klan was officially disbanded by its own Grand Wizard and founding member former confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest in 1869.

Why did he do this? These may be a couple contributing factors.

The original social club had become a very violent terrorist group, and with its disorganization out of the control of its leaders.

The federal government was actively seeking out Klan members, and was about to pass the Ku Klux Klan act suspending habeas corpus for suspected Klan members.
