    Redemption: Here's how the 1st KKK grand wizard came to love black people


    They may happen once in a lifetime or not at all. They're God stories, moments of clarity -- those occasions when an individual experiences a profound spiritual change. And suddenly, a long-held, deeply ingrained attitude or behavior vanishes and nothing is the same again.


    Confederate Army Gen. Nathaniel Bedford Forrest, who earned the nickname "The Wizard of the Saddle" for his aggressive -- and highly effective -- exploits on the battlefield, and subsequently served as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, underwent such a fundamental transformation.

    Forrest was born in 1821 in Chapel Hill, Tennessee, the eldest son of a poor blacksmith and his wife. Upon the death of his father 16 years later, Forrest became the man of the house.

    A born leader, he seemed to rise to a position of authority in whatever enterprise he was associated with.

    When his deeply religious mother, whom he loved, was attacked by a cougar, "he got his gun and his hunting dogs, tracked down the beast, treed it, killed it, and cut off its ears to present to his mother as a trophy of revenge," Cloud wrote in a heavily researched piece for Way of Life Literature, which publishes Bible Study material.
