Some people have claimed that Forrest was associated with the Ku Klux Klan but he officially denied participation.
It is claimed wrongly that Forrest started the Klan when in truth he actually disbanded it.
His general order disbanding the Klan was a Public record in many newspapers of the time.

How often people use history to meet their own agendas. Forrest did indeed disband the Klan. The Klan we know today reformed ten years after Forrest's death but morons still say he's somehow responsible for it's later actions.
