[Bedford Forrest]

"...[in 1880] a young law student at the University of Virginia,Thomas Woodrow Wilson, speaking for the southern generation that grew to maturity after the war, declared, "I yield to no one precedence in love of the South. But because I love the South, I rejoice in the failure of the Confederacy.""

What a colossal, narcissistic, obscenity he was, and at such an early age. As a graduate of the Law School, I am particularly saddened and repulsed. Given the temper of The University then, it is most odd that he wasn't shot down like a mad dog, for his "rejoicing". So often, in history, "tolerance" is suicide. He did not speak for "the southern generation. . . ": He spoke only for his sick, seething lust for power.

I am surprised as well that he was not the victim of an untimely hunting accident, (dueling being outlawed by then).
