Forrest was in constant conflict with superiors and subordinates and was a raider, mainly. He was demoted many times, ordered the massacre of all the Black prisoners at Fort Pillow.

Forrest was in constant conflict mainly with Braxton Bragg. He got along fine with Dick Taylor.

Oh, and your reading of the Fort Pillow incident is, shall we say, selective and incomplete.

‘Forrest was in constant conflict mainly with Braxton Bragg.’

The only person that liked Bragg was Jeff Davis, and he paid a steep price for backing that incompetent political appointee.
