Forrest was a successful military general for the confederate army during the civil war. His career started when he joined the Tennessee Mounted Rifles. Seeing how under equipped the squad was though, he helped pay for new equipment. This paved the way for his promotion from private to lieutenant colonel. This promotion put him in charge of his own battalion of 650 troops, who he was responsible for training and arming. His battalion became one of the most feared units in the civil war and earned him the name, "The Wizard of the Saddle". He was later promoted to brigadier general and continued his threatening march around the civil war. Forrest's career wasn't all good though, he was involved of one of the most controversial battle of the civil war, that battle being Fort Pillow. At Fort Pillow he captured and executed most of the colored troops stationed there.

After the war Nathan Bedford joined the KKK(Ku Klux Klan)in 1867 to further his prejudice against the blacks. Not only did he join the KKK which was bad enough, he ended up becoming the first and last grand wizard of the KKK. The name was given to him because of his military name, "The Wizard of the Saddle". He is credited with uniting the members of the KKK around the US even though he denied all affiliation with the Klan. As mentioned above, he was the last grand wizard because after a few years Bedford decided to disband the Klan and ordered all their robes to be burned.
