This book should send McPherson’s head spinning.

You have played the part of a damned scoundrel, and are a coward, and if you were any part of a man I would slap your jaws and force you to resent it.

And before anyone insists NBF founded the KKK ... don’t bother. He didn’t.

What he did form was a society of southern men who resisted the thieving carpetbaggers and Yankee occupation.

A conservative Southerner and a staunch supporter of states' rights who freed his slaves years before Abraham Lincoln issued his fraudulent Emancipation ProclamationVery unlikely. In fact, Forrest himself said he took 47 of his own slaves into the army, promising them freedom at the end of the war.

Which was, of course, what the KKK said about itself.

Incorrect. The KKK formed after NBF had dissolved the society he created. The KKK was comprised of much more bitter and petty men who did not like the blacks sudden rise from slaves to voting citizens. These men became the core of the DemocRat political machine for the next century and a half.

What I said was that the KKK portrayed and believed itself to be defending the south against northern oppression. This is entirely accurate.

Black soldiers fought alongside white soldiers in Forrest’s command. They had the highest respect for him, before, during, and after the war. There were as many black men at his funeral as there was whites.

Quite possibly true. But nonresponsive to whether he freed his slaves years before the war.

At first, then they began concentrating on keeping the blacks uneducated and on the plantation.

I was already laughing when I got to your comment and that finished me off. Thanks for the extra laugh.
