If a Fort Pillow massacre occurred, there is no objective evidence that General Forrest ordered it.

the "massacre" did NOT happen. the people who "came up with" that nonsense KNOWINGLY lied about the battle.

anyone who doubts this should read the memoirs of any number of union officers, who were THERE.

He was in command. There are many accounts written by the confederate officers there that establish the massacre happened.
