I’ve only ever known him as the guy who founded the KKK.
You need to educate yourself - Nathan Bedford Forrest is still studied at US Military Academies for his tactical wizardry. THE most effective cavalry commander on either side of the Civil War.
Forrest was one of the founders of the KKK - but it was organized to oppose the excesses of the Reconstruction era governance imposed on the south.
He disassociate himself from the KKK when it turned toward harassing/attacking blacks.
At least that is the scenario that I learned during my youth.
