Gordon was head of only the Georgia branch of the Klan - Bedford Forrest was
head of the Klan nationwide, but both men left the Klan by 1868 due to the
nature of the Klan activity getting more violent.

Subject: [FairfieldLife] featuring Major General John B. Gordon
featured in "Weird or What?" with William Shatner. Interviewed a dude who
traveled to the Antietam battlefield site and had an emotional meltdown. Bought
a magazine at the gift shop with a pic of Confederate Gen. John B. Gordon, shot
multiple times at the Battle of Antietam.
The dude claims that Gordon one of his former incarnations. (looks very
similar). Didn't mention the General's involvement in the Ku Klux Klan after
the War.
