Who was a famous member or members of the KKK?

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.
