The KKK guys didn't get a clean start It was either Pike or Forrest or as many say it was formed by 6 Confederate veterans. Pike,a mason hero, the
only Confederate general with a statue in Washington D.C.
Forrest may have been a mason some say so others do not mention it.
The structure and names of both groups are similar, both are secret and have sworn oaths to secrecy.
Simmens The guy credited with the start of the new KKK was a mason.
