On July 7 the Memphis City Council voted unanimously to exhume the body of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest from its 110 year resting place and move it to another location.
The body of Forrests wife will be exhumed as well.
According to Local Memphis, the council voted to exhume Forrests remains from Health Sciences Park on Union Avenue. They plan to sell a statue of Forrest as wellthey are thinking of selling the statue to anyone who wants it.
Forrest was a businessman who become wealthy in the cotton trade prior to the Civil War. He abandoned that to fight federal forces once the war commenced, eventually becoming a lieutenant general in the Confederate Army. He was known for waging brutal warfare against federal forces in Mississippi and Tennessee.
The Forrest family has made clear that they are solidly opposed to digging up the graves and moving them any place. They are opposed to moving the statue as well. . .

Please, please...don’t be logical.
You’ll ruin the story!
Utterly disgusting. No wonder Obama won’t fight the Taliban. He’s one of them.
We are going to disavow the history of the 19th and 20th centuries to be politically correct and to have more ammunition in the racist fight against all whites. More and more blacks will be anxious to demonstrate their hatred of whites. Hip Hop wins.
NO WORDS! Now they HAVE crossed the line ... These sycophant retards need to get the living crap kicked out of them.
They are going to desecrate a grave because the man entombed was a confederate officer? Really?
Where the hell does this sh*t stop? Only one thing will put an end to this lunacy - armed resistance against these fascists! When they are so emboldened that they seek to desecrate the graves of the dead, it is time to forcefully put them down. No quarter given, none expected.
He was known for waging brutal warfare against federal forces in Mississippi and Tennessee.
Correction:
He was known for waging brutal warfare against the fascist forces of the genocidal Dictator and war criminal, Abraham Lincoln, in Mississippi and Tennessee.
What exact purpose does moving a grave serve ? Is the problem the city or county where they are buried ? This is nuts.
And all this for some skinny pasty-faced drug-addled loser who thought he’d shoot up a church. Amazing how the Left and its lapdog media has to use sheer hysteria to rip the fabric of the Republic just to make some sort of vague point.
Hip-hop wins?
Not so fast ... We have better weapons - and shoot with greater accuracy than the gang bangers.
They crossed the line long before now but the destruction now is going to be irreversible for many reasons to numerous to list hear. Quite frankly, I doubt that any politician can reverse this lunacy because no matter how much popular support they may have, the lawless government will just ignore its subjects and import more illiterates to mold.
I pray a lot that God will intercede and if He sees fit, blot us out of existence. But there may be an alternative acceptable to God, a path to repentance that includes some meaningful sacrifice.
With our country being destroyed, perhaps a planned demolition would be a better alternative to the leftist transformation. There are a lot of means to do this short of violence though armed defense should never be ruled out. Is it not better that the destruction follow a path that leads to liberty instead of the police state path? I think it can be done.
If something like the footprint of a building is going to be covering the site, one could see why. But why the lackadaisical attitude about the statue. Wouldn’t it be logical to keep it near wherever the new grave location is?
>>>He’s a fellow Democrat, for cryin out loud<<<
The real question is, if they Dig him up can he still Vote?
I thought about that. They are really asking for it. (This has nothing to do with Christian faith. People who conjure demons are the most susceptible to demons themselves.)
Creepy stuff.
If he was a Democrat, it would be very disrespectful to prevent it.
The devil works through con games. He looks for people who will believe.
Banning Elvis’ version of Dixie just might be THE reason for a CWII. Them Elvis fans are series.
