Agree. If people would bother to read their history; they would know that this man got out of the KKK when they started doing their thing with the white sheets.
Heck of a story. Man had money but no experience. Put enough in to support his own regiment, so the South made him an officer. Despite having no training, rises all the way up Lieutenant General and lead his own Calvary brigade through the whole war. Arguably the best Calvaryman on either side.
When they started they were a ragtag bunch, but his first raid was so successful that he never lacked for arms the rest of the war. In supply on Union stores.
