Read about NBF’s accomplishments as a General. He was an amazing man. If he had wore a blue uniform, we would have a holiday named after him.
He killed a young man in a sabre fight, the young man badly injured him. They lay next to each other in the hospital.
The young man was alone and dying. Forrest reached out and held his hand until he died. Forrest was an amazing man.
I’m more focused on the Fort Pillow situation and his membership in the KKK - putting him on a license plate in a state that is 37% black seems like a provocation to me. That’s all.
