In the mid-19th century, at the end of the war of succession or American civil war Confederate Army general Nathan Bedford Forrest meets together with five veterans of the army in a small town in Tennessee, in order to create a social brotherhood and its main
objective was "fun". Its name comes from the Greek word Ku Klux meaning circle and the authors wanting to play with the sound of the phonemes added the word Klan, thus was born the Ku Klux Klan in to the year 1866.
