Yes, he was the first Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan.
Nathan Bedford Forrest is often mistaken as founding the KKK. Nathan was a member of the KKK, but it was six men from Tennessee who actually started the organization.
Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821-1877) was the famous Confederate cavalry officer from Tennessee who helped to start the KKK -- the Ku Klux Klan -- after the Civil War. Serving as the first 'Grand Wizard' in the shadowy organization, Forrest later saw no need to continue his affiliation with the KKK and in fact sought to put an end to its activities.
One important person in the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was General George Gordon who created the Klan dogma in the late 1800s. General Nathan Bedford Forest became the first Grand Wizard or national leader for the KKK.

The first branch of the Ku Klux Klan was established in Pulaski, Tennessee, in May, 1866. A year later a general organization of local Klan's was established in Nashville in April, 1867. Most of the leaders were former members of the Confederate Army and the first Grand Wizard was Nathan Forrest, an outstanding general during the American Civil War. During the next two years they terrorised and killed black Americans, sympathetic whites and immigrants, who they blamed for the election of Radical Republicans. Between 1868 and 1870 the Ku Klux Klan played an important role in restoring white rule in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. At first the main objective of white supremacy organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan was to stop black people from voting. After white governments had been established in the South the Ku Klux Klan continued to undermine the power of blacks. Successful black business's were attacked and any attempt to form black protection groups such as trade unions was quickly dealt with. Eventually the Klan targeted anyone they disliked - Jews, Catholics etc.
