In 1939, Imperial Wizard Hiram Wesley Evans sold the organisation to two Klan members, Samuel Green and James Colescott. Colescott was forced to dissolve the organization in 1944, but in 1946, Green reformed the group in Atlanta. He was elected Imperial Wizard two weeks before his death from a heart attack in Atlanta. Following Green's death, the Klan split into independent groups.
