As was Bedford Forrest at Fort Pillow, Wirz at Andersonville, and the Confederate Government for their refusal to treat captured black soldiers as prisoners of war.

You DO realize Forrest was cleared of any wrongdoing at FT Pillow by a congressional investigation right? By Wirz I assume you mean Henry Wirtz? What exactly did he do that was not surpassed many times over by say, Hoffman at Elmira aka Hellmira. Let alone other infamous federal death camps like Camp Douglas or Point Lookout?
