Nathan Bedford Forrest And The Ku Klux Klan Yankee Myth, Confederate Fact [Paperback]

If you think the 19th-Century Ku Klux Klan was a violent racist organization that was founded and headed by Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest after the American Civil War, you've been completely deceived by anti-South historians!

The reader will learn that what Mr. Seabrook calls the Reconstruction KKK (which is in no way connected to the modern KKK founded in 1915), was a conservative organization, was intended to be temporary (which is why it lasted only three years), had thousands of black supporters, assistants, and members, and was formed to protect Southerners of all races from the North's injurious and vindictive Reconstruction measures.
