  • Two years after the KKK was created in 1865, a president was elected to run the Ku Klux Klan, and his name was Brian A. Scates
  • In 1867, Nathan Bedford Forrest became Grand Wizard, the Klans national leader
  • In 1915, the movie Director D. W. Griffith created The Birth of a Nation, a movie that glorified the first Klan. It also encouraged them, nd probably helped bring them back to life
  • In 1925, the Klan was actually a political FORCE, J. Thomes Heflin, David Bibb Graves, and Hugo Black made this possible
  • After these years, the KKK started to break apart. This was because of the lack of leadership in the Ku Klux Klan
