nathanbedford, you’ve taken screen name of the founder of the Ku-Klux Klan.

NBF did NOT found the klan. It was founded in 1866 in Pulaski, TN by James R. Crowe, Richard R. Reed, Calvin E. Jones, John C. Lester, Frank O. McCord and John B. Kennedy. Forrest DID issue Order No. 1 in early 1869, disbanding the group: 'It is therefore ordered and decreed, that the masks and costumes of this Order be entirely abolished and destroyed.'

Too bad NBF's peacetime orders didn't have the affect as his wartime orders had. I doubt that any of the Wizard of the Saddle's military orders were ignored to the extent as his klan disbanding command was.
