I offered the opinion of a historian that he wasn't a Wizzard.
Still a member, of the KKK. You're unaware of the three Klans then. The first arose in reaction to Reconstruction and Republican rule of the South. That's the one Forrest joined, and then quit when it terrorized Republican leaders some of whom were black. It was suppressed by law and he vowed to help dismantle it.
You need of course to be careful not to let it out that the KKK were then Democrats resisting Republicans because then we have to say Democrats were racist, and you would have to say you hate them too.
I did enjoy the virtue signalling.
