The original klan, during the Reconstruction era after the War between the States, actually offered protection to blacks who were being harassed by carpetbaggers because they were not falling in line. But later, the klan started becoming purely a racial organization and Nathan Bedford Forest denounced it. Forest actually had klansmen hung for terrorizing blacks. He also became a champion of racial equality and was invited to speak at civil rights conventions. But he gets credit for none of this and the NAACP tries to get anything with his name on it removed.
