[Sherman Logan]

A conservative Southerner and a staunch supporter of states' rights who freed his slaves years before Abraham Lincoln issued his fraudulent Emancipation Proclamation

Very unlikely. In fact, Forrest himself said he took 47 of his own slaves into the army, promising them freedom at the end of the war.

Black soldiers fought alongside white soldiers in Forrest’s command. They had the highest respect for him, before, during, and after the war. There were as many black men at his funeral as there was whites.

Took his slaves with him to war? What a scumbag.
