"During the battle at Ft. Pillow Tennessee when it became apparent to
Gen. Forrest that his troops were about to rout the U.S. colored troops
he called a cease fire & asked for their surrender, they refused. What
was Gen. Forrest suppose to ...do, let enemy combatants go free? The U.S.
absolved Forrest of any crimes over this SUPPOSEDLY massacre after the
war.

However, because he was the first Grand Wizard of the KKK ( Forrest
disbanded it after two years ) today's media uses this story to advance
a liberal media driven agenda leaving out all the pertinent facts "

......the most misunderstood man in history.
