It’s true Forrest was a slave trader and Klansman, but he was also one of the most brilliant generals of the Civil War.

Many of his slaves stayed on with Forrest after the war and were quite devoted to him.

Two of my Great-Grandfathers rode under him. 10th Tennessee Cavalry. Should I turn myself in to the SPLC?

But it is the Klan involvement that separates him from Lee, Jackson, Stuart, and the rest.

It’s true Forrest was a slave trader and Klansman, but he was also one of the most brilliant generals of the Civil War.Remember Irwin Rommel, the Desert Fox "Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book?" Rommel studied Forrest's ideas and uses of mobile artillery.

It’s true Forrest was a slave trader and Klansman, but he was also one of the most brilliant generals of the Civil War.The point here is that he had completely changed his views and actually worked hard to bring the races together! Not that he SHOULD be honored for being a great general for the Confederacy.
