- A nearly 150-year-old document illustrates how the controversy around Nathan Bedford Forrest has its roots in a post-Civil War debate surrounding the Confederate general.
"If we forget our past, we are doomed to repeat it" History can so oftentimes be confused or changed and much of what is said today it absolutely wrong.
People who judge people in the past by modern day standards fail to realize that if they were born in lets say Nazi Germany the mathmatic odds say they would of been saluting with the rest of them. People like to imagine themselves as virtuos if they were back then but its highly unlikely.
I find it ironic that after the north won their war against "slavery" they went west to butcher and enslave Native Americans on reservations. I guess we were not supposed to notice.

A smoking gun that sadly will me misrepresented by the thinking of the current day.
Gen. Forrest has been granted glorious immortality
Forrest couldn't read or write
He was the only man in both the northern and southern armies that was made a general after starting as a private....I'm glad he was brought back to mid Tennessee...Memphis is a twilight zone sewer...my father was born right down the road in Bedford co from Forrests birth place 101 yrs later
He could read and write
I have studied Forrest quite a bit and that document does not sound like anything Forrest ever wrote that I have seen. I suspect some political chicanery.
An obvious fraud.
I think they are full of shit.
He didn't write it and the document should show MUCH more age.
At the end of his life he warned Black American Chamber of Commerce to be careful who they voted for and supported them in all their new-found freedom ..... that is an historical fact ...........
My hero😊❤
Do NOT say that he kissed a black woman! Blasphemy! Lies! The General would never do such a foul thing!
Read history repeats itself unless known 😊❤
Fraud!!
