I know some of Forrest's own slaves (about 44 in number) served under his command but the 20% number seems awfully high. Where did you come by that number?

Oh probably because I have never seen a shred of evidence to support your crazy claim that Forrest's cavalry was even 2/10 of a percent black, much less 20%.
