Ironically, according to some historians, one of Bedford’s greatest tactical military victories, Brice’s Crossroads, was, when considering the bigger picture, a victory for Sherman. Had Forrest not been tangling with Sturgis there, he might have been harassing Sherman in Georgia.
the TRUTH is that there was NO massacre. period. end of story.
furthermore, the REVISIONIST/LEFTIST version of the battle at Ft Pillow is UNTRUTHFUL about the bravery, honor & fidelity of the US Black soldiers, who fought so bravely there. FEW surrendered. instead, they "fell in battle" while trying to WIN.
but, of course, THE TRUTH doesn't "make a good story" for the LIARS, DAMNyankee REVISIONISTS, etc.

Very astute point.
My Great-great uncle fell at Brice’s Crossroads, which was only day’s ride from his home at Shiloh.
I am happy they finally made Brice’s Crossroads a National Park.
