Historical illiteracy at its finest.

Perhaps a plaque should be added to General Forrest’s grave commemorating his repentance for founding the KKK and tireless work late in life against racial violence and on behalf of African Americans.

Forrest didn’t found the Klan as it already existed when he took over. When it did start getting too radical and racist, Forrest disbanded it in 1869. It reformed in it’s current version around 1915, 38 years after Forrest died in 1877. So not only do they not know their history, they also cant count.

Here’s an article that pretty much confirms what I’ve read elsewhere ;

People working the bloody-shirt grift for political theater haven't time to read the full resume.

They don't want to read past the words "former slave trader." That fills their basket.

I doubt it would make a difference to this group.
