Wow. Statues of Gen. Forrest are being torn down, when in fact I’d say he deserves more put up just for so instructing his men.
We here in Alabama are taking care of General Forrest. I know several who went with his bones when they were removed from Memphis, and travelled with them, until they are re-interred in TN.
You are exactly correct - places like Northern Ireland and Kosovo have had blood feuds that have continued for generations - as I understand it, significant sentiment to persist in resistance through guerrilla-like action was common among Confederate factions at that time, and it was the leadership of great and noble men like Lee and Forrest that kept us from going down that bloody path.
