John Lester, James Crowe, John Kennedy, Calvin Jones, Richard Reed, and Frank McCord, Christmas Eve 1865. [Apr 14 04 10:49 AM] mibmob writes: Finally, in 1869, newly elected President Grant agreed to a secret meeting with Grand Wizard Forrest. The two men had faced each other in the Civil War and were now facing each other in a new kind of war. Grant asked what it would take to end the turmoil. Forrest replied the restoration of full rights of citizenship to the white South and home rule. Grant agreed. Grand Wizard Forrest would disband the Klan and later that year Grant would begin the process of withdrawing federal troops and restoring Constitutional Rights to the South. Unfortunately, the unrest did not end with the disbandment of the Ku Klux Klan in 1869. http://www.kkklan.com/briefhist.htm Apr 14 04, 10:46 AM
