Nathan Bedford Forrest was definitley on of the greatest an smartest generals of the Civil War. He's tactics with light infantry were ahead of his time. He was also a great soldier. On one occasion he charged a Union brigade by himself and was surrounded by Union troops but pulled out his saber while firing his revolver into he Union troops and used one as a human shield to get away.
this person TThrone931 is a racist and a bigot i have had a discussion with him on other videos, and the person more or less threatend to execute me lol he seem to live in a we world were he dreams these things up
My great, great grandfather served with Gen. Forrest and was wounded at Shiloh. He was one hell of a leader and well respected by the men under his command.
@loneguitar13 like all the Grand Dragons of the KKK were by their Soldiers . so your Great Grand pappu what poistion was he in the KKK lynching general of Terrorists of US soldiers
@TThorne931 Good Lord, Are you still at this? Did a young idiotic redneck step on your foot and he was wearing a rebel flag so you single out the Confederacy? Did you know that Forrest left the KKK when it became too violent even for him? Learn something then you can rave about stuff.
@XxDevin2xX No all Descendents of the KKKonfederacy should be executed for Their famlies treason against the Motherland . who cares if he left or not he was the Hero of the KKK his bloodline should suffer and be tested on by drugs /
@TThorne931 Motherland? Seem you are a bit Nationalistic. Yes we rebeled, but there were more reasons than just simply "wanting to keep our slaves" my family just heard that the North was Gathering an Army so my Grandfather Enlisted because he believed the South was going to be invaded not because they were gtting rid of slavery( he never had even seen a slave till the war) , but I do not believe that the KKK was right but it was not just blacks that were killed.
@XxDevin2xX The motherland is sacred death to all who oppose our glorious motherland . You grandfather was a bastard and a filthy traitor against our beloved homeland . He fought for Imperalist slave expansion . The fuck he didn't see a Salve all hicks were slave owners . If you love the south you Want to see a Second holocaust unleashed on innocent women and children
@TThorne931 Shows how good you are at Civilized confersation. Well no need for cussing either, but you need to study a bit more. If your'e still in Highschool I don't blame you, seems teens these Days are a little bit dumber.
@TThorne931 What in the Sam hell are you talkin' about Lad? Which Homeland are you talking about? I never mumbled a word about opposing anything. You sound more Russian than you do American. I think you have your history all mixed up.
@TThorne931 Yea, and I agree with you. But like all Nations there are turbulent periods in history, and it's all based on opinion. No one will ever know the truth unless you were there.
@TThorne931 Hahaha there is no 'race' for being born where you are born. I don't think I rightly understand you? Your banter is a bit too excentric. I would love to see this "truth" of yours in paper because not all southerners are the same, henceforth rednecks should NOT be mumbled in the same breath. And most people in the south are ashamed of rednecks, they use the Battle Flag of the Confederacy and mock it under racism and stupidity. I hate them as much as you.
@XxDevin2xX Race is immense in the Union All citizens born north of mason-dixon are smarter stronger and puerer then the hicks in the KKK . Rednecks are all citizens . I don't hate rednecks i hate every southern man women and the wee children all are Domestic terrorists who party on 9/11
@TThorne931 You are one shelterd little boy, I have noticed in alot of cases Southerners are even more patriotic. And we party on 9/11?That is Complete an Utter Bullshit. And as for your Northerners are smarter rant, Puerer? Really?
@TThorne931 Hmm well good lord I don't condone that nor agree with it. But I assure you not every southerner is like that and apologize for you seeing such Behaviour being conducted.
Hoorah for General Nathan Bedford Forrest and all the brave confederate soldiers who gave so much for the cause. May they eternally rest in peace and may we never forget their sacrifices for home, honor and country.
Why is everyone hiding from slavery like it is a terrible thing . It was a blessing for the race . I think everyone thinks this including the Blacks but is afraid to admit it . The Blacks are just milking it for all it's worth which is understandable . But I have had a black person tell me this about Slavery
''Thank goodness for Slavery or my husband would be skinning a monkey or climbing a tree for coconuts. '' (Don't think they grow in Africa )
Although he was one of very few Slave owners in the Confederate Army, the man had NO FEAR! Brass fucking balls. Any man that has zero regard for his own safety has my respect.

Nathan Bedford Forest was most dishonorable. The man was not a gentleman and conducted himself very poorly. I wish that people would not hold such an awful man up alongside true Southern heroes like Thomas Jackson and Robert E. Lee.
@youskinfan Too bloody right. Lee had a rant at an artilery officer at Fredricksburg for shooting fleeing union soldiers by "This is war, not murder." NBF dishonours great learders like Lee and Jackson as you say by his racist attitude and the Massecre at FT Pillow. He is no better than John Chivington at sand creek. What a basterd.
@lordofthevids3 A Yankee Congressional investigation found that the black soldiers trying to flee to the Union gunboats under the bluff blundered into the two Southern companies sent to prevent a Northern landing--failing to surrender; they made the fatal error of firing on troops protected by ravines on both sides of them. Of course they were cut to shreds...
@youskinfan to fight war you cant be a gentlemen even jackson himself said we should give no quater to the enemy forrest was a realist when it came to war
@youskinfan Yeah, but unfortunately, he had much more at his disposal! Otherwise, he'd would have had his butt handed to him, and he would have skulked back to wherever it was he came from.
@TheAverageG8mers Research before mouthing off. Forrest never "started" any KKK. Secondly, much more importantly, the ORIGINAL Klan was ex-Confederates opposing abuses by the Union occupation, very Pro-DIXIE. When, because of hiding behind masks, things started getting out of hand, Forrest disbanded it! FORTY YEARS later, the NEW Klan started up, very pro-U.S. nationalists, a new, hate agenda, and nothing to do with Forrest. Research Jubilee of Pole Bearers! Research his personal guard!
This video is a tribute to Lirutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest. So, if you don't like him don't visit this video. And you Billy Yeankee can kiss my ass and go too hell.
@smrt1111111111111, My friend the Union Army had more respect for General Forrest than most of the command in the South. Grant posted a reward for him, dead or alive. No other man was a feared as he and his escort.
My great great grandfather,Christopher Columbus Cohron, fought along side of gen forrest.He was a member of the 12th kentucky cav.There were two 12th ken cav. units in the war,one north and one south.
Incidentally, on April 4, memorable date. On that day, the black warriors CSA, accomplished a feat: April 4, 1865 in Amelia County (Va.) Federal cavalry attacked a southern train, fully provided and protected by black infantrymen from the part of Major Turner. They fought to the end, fought off several attacks, and have not been overrun by the enemy as long as no ammunition ran out.
The official history asserts that the North allegedly fought for the liberation of slaves, but it's a lie. The Yankees wanted to deprive the South of its land and wealth, choked South economic policy duties. As a Russian saying: flogged by three skins! And the people of the South, black and white Southerners fought shoulder to shoulder against the aggression of the North, for his country, for freedom, the right to choose their own destiny and that of their children as befits a free people.
@TheBlackSkif We wanted to preserve the United States of America, economics had absolutely nothing to do with it being Southern tariffs were lower than any point since 1816, and as true as it was that an original goal of the Union army wasnt to abolish slavery it became a war aim in 1862, and one more thing I would hesitate to call any country thats economy rests on a system that allegedly is fighting for the freedom of its own people yet denies it to 1000s of other less fortunate people
And more: the Confederation, in contrast to the North, did not know any courts Lynch or concentration camps, pogroms and the wild, such as the July, 1863, in New York when disgruntled introduction of compulsory military service goons devoured hundreds of color and burned many houses, Including Negro orphanage (tens of accidents orphans killed in fire), have been unthinkable in the CSA.
янки-ветераны из Потомакской армии, пережившие двухдневное сражение с войсками генерала Джонстона у поселка Семь Сосен, с ужасом рассказывали товарищам: «В первых рядах противника находились два полка негров-мятежников. От них не было никакой пощады северянам — ни живым, ни раненым, ни павшим: они калечили, и издевались, и грабили, и убивали нас самыми жестокими способами!»
Вот ещё одно доказательство того что чёрные южане сражались за Юг:негритянский аболиционист Фредерик Дуглас, посвятивший всю жизнь борьбе за права и интересы братьев по расе, с изумлением отметил: «Немало цветных служит в Армии конфедератов! Причем не только поварами, слугами и подсобными рабочими, но — полноправными солдатами. Они горят желанием убивать всех нас, сторонников федерального правительства, и готовы всемерно подрывать его политику».
И ещё: Конфедерация, в отличие от Севера, не знала ни судов Линча, ни концлагерей, и дикие погромы, типа июльского, 1863 г, в Нью-Йорке, когда недовольные введением обязательной воинской повинности громилы растерзали сотни цветных и сожгли множество домов, в т.ч. негритянский детдом (десятки несчастных сирот погибли в пламени), были совершенно немыслимы в КША.
Кстати, четвёртого апреля памятная дата. В этот день чёрные бойцы КША совершили подвиг:4 апреля 1865 г. в графстве Амелия (Вирджиния) федеральная кавалерия атаковала южный обоз, полностью обеспечиваемый и охраняемый чернокожими пехотинцами из части майора Тернера. Они сопротивлялись до конца, отбили несколько атак, и не были смяты врагом до тех пор, пока не закончились боеприпасы.
Свободные и подневольные негры служили даже в ударных кавалерийских частях Натаниэля Бедфорда Форреста, известных своей беспощадностью и отчаянными рейдами по тылам неприятеля. Генерал Форрест, самый агрессивный военачальник КША и непримиримый враг северян, давал им крайне лестную оценку: «Эти парни оставались со мною до конца. Люди вроде них — лучшее, чем обладала Конфедерация!»
Официальная история утверждает что Север якобы за освобождение рабов воевал, но это ложь. Янки хотели отобрать у Юга его землю и богатства, душили Юг экономической политикой, пошлинами. Как говорит русская пословица: Драли по три шкуры! А народ Юга, чёрные и белые южане плечом к плечу сражались против агрессии севера, за свою родину, за свободу, за право самим выбирать свою судьбу и судьбу своих детей как подобает свободным людям.
So he's a redneck hero? A man that fought to preserve slavery and when he lost he helped start the KLU KLUX KLAN. If that's the sort of heros you southerners worship then that says it all about you.
@heartfire451 You're ignorance is showing. The KKK was formed to combat the northern carpet baggers who controlled the law and used it against the southerners to steal what little they had left. When the KKK turned racist, Nathan Forest condemned it and left it. Nathan Forest was extremely brave and bold ... and never lost a single battle. ,, It is you who is the ignorant bigot.
@kenlo77 Полностью согласен с вами! Натан Форест, был в высшей степени порядочным человеком, патриотом своей Родины-КША, и настоящим офицером. Я здесь уже говорил и скажу ещё раз: Южане не была расистами. Расистами были как раз северяне!
@kenlo77 Thanks for the tip:) I have translated in Google. Sorry for the quality of translation. Totally agree with you! Nathan Forest, was a highly respectable man, a patriot of his homeland, CSA (Confederate States of America), and this officer. I'm here already said and will say again: Southerners was not racist. Racists were just northerners!
Love 'em or hate 'em, fact is Nathan Bedford Forrest = all-American badass. In the end, his 'atrocities' were far excelled by that other frontier genius- A. Lincoln. Present day hatred for Forrest only reflects the modern American preocupation with race. And totally ignores or denigrates any facts which don't fit the fixed narrative of Confederacy as Evil.
"Forrest charged the brigade single-handedly, and soon found himself surrounded. He emptied his Colt Army revolvers into the swirling mass of Union soldiers and pulled out his saber, hacking and slashing. A Union infantryman fired a musket ball into Forrest's spine with a point-blank musket shot, nearly knocking him out of the saddle. Placing a Union infantryman behind him on the saddle as a shield, Forrest broke out and galloped back to his incredulous troopers."
@mike14523 Такое вполне могло быть. У нас тоже такое бывало.
P.S.Во время Великой Отечественной войны 1941-1945, советские морские пехотинцы шли в атаку на войска нацистов не обращая внимания на сильную стрельбу противника. Советские морские пехотинцы сражались так яростно что нацисты прозвали их: Чёрная Смерть, Чёрные дьяволы. ( у советских моряков форма была чёрного цвета)
P.S. During the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, Soviet marines went on the attack on the troops Nazis, ignoring the strong fire of the enemy. Soviet Marines fought with such fury that the Nazis feared the Soviet marines and called them: The Black Death, the black devil. (In the form of Soviet sailors were black)
Sorry that I repeat my message. I just today told how to use the Google translator
Sorry to not get into any revisionist or post-colonial southron arguments but does ayone know the music for this clip? I think it's "Grassy Slopes of the Boyne" (a Northern-Irish Loyalist song (hmm, prob not best forum to start a North vs South argument methinks)).
It is remarkable how many great leaders the South produced. I doubt there has ever been a country so well served by those chosen to lead. I wish we could find such men today instead of the swindlers and liars who infest Washington.
Slavery was the shame of the humanity and that's clear, but if I were there in 1861 I would fight for the South. Not for the slaveholders but for the independence of my homeland.
Yes, thousands of free African-Americans were at his funeral, because Forrest treated his servants very well. He brought 47 of his male servants into the war and he had 45 at the end of the war. His plantation was destroyed by the Union soldiers and those servants that use to work for him, came back and spread the word that Forrest was a good man.
He had some less than commendable views on the social status of African Americans, but I've looked up his military career and he was honestly the best cavalry commander in the whole civil war!
@Colton8646 Well, even obammy and Hitler have a few things in common, but hey, old binny WAS a warped old man with hate on his mind, whereas....Gen Forrest was a true patriot. Old binny got his, right in the head, Forrest, on the other hand, lived to tell about it, he and his excellent tactics and war record.
@sugarfoot59 Agreed but what the three men all have in common is leadership. They are very different morally but were all fabulous leaders. As well as fabulous soldiers Osama is reported to have killed a Russian soldier barehanded, Hitler took out a bunker of soldiers for which he received the Iron cross and Nathan Bedford Forrest defeated over 31 Union soldiers in duels.
@Colton8646 Now, on this I can agree with you. I suppose all three did have, what you might call, 'Leadership' qualities, but at least two of those had no moral qualities, which leaves Gen Forrest, in a league that those other two didn't belong.
Well, all three did possess what you can call 'Leadership' qualities, and I agree with you on that aspect, but what those other two didn't possess, or at least not much of, was moral qualities, and in that regard, Gen Forrest was far above the other two.
@FreeLunchTax : I don't know where you have any knowledge to make that claim, so I assume that you have none. Forrest was undoubtedly a racist and was mean tough. This came from having taken over responsibility for the family when his father died. He made his money not only thru the slave trade, but by investing in the railroad and being a Memphis city alderman.
The only reason i think that colored people hate that flag is, because white trash peaces of shit whick is kkk waves it in their face saying we hate niggers
No evidence to support the claim that hewas cruel. Many northern politicians and soldiers and their families and in-laws had slaves. So they must have BOUGHT them somewhere.
Gen. Forrest's statue in Memphis is a tribute to his military skill, and in his field, he was probably without peer.
Quite an achievement for someone who only attended school for six months.
@delbard1 people who refuse to believe true history only know how to sling false propaganda, because the modern klan was refounded in the 1920s by a nut named simmons who hated everybody that wasnt white and protestant,and because they use the confederate flag, those who dont know the true history seem to love to bash the C.S.A. nothing makes me more angry than to see a confederate flag beside a swastica, few probably know that the secretary of state of the confederay was a jew.
@dffykvn So how come to KKK list him as a founder? Forest did accomplish much. When the Civil War started, he was a private. The phrase: "The essence of strategy is to get there first with the most", is attributed to him. The KKK that Forest founded was a VFW for confederate Solders.

@delbard1 It was a VFW for confederate soldiers...so they could take their frustrations out on black people by lynching them and terrorizing them as revenge for their loss.
It's not like the jackasses wore hoods in their faggoty little meetings so they could play big bad menacing white guy without having to piss themselves if anyone saw their faces.
It's not like you couldn't disavow them to protect yourself from legal and extralegal action and still be out there lynching people.
In case you didn't know, General Nathan Forest had black soldiers in his ranks. And the so called "massacre" at Fort Pillow was not a massacre but a battle. Sure black troops died, but that's what happens in war.
i love the confedaracy,and in my opinion Robert E Lee is one of the greatest generals in the history of warfare and by far top 3 greatest in americian history.But if wedve won this great conflict we wouldve had alot of problems today,wed be living close to the way the koreans do.Thats my opinion please dont flame me for it or call me stupid for it.
@dsettleascii We would have abolished slavery with the advent of agricultural machinery and moved the niggers back to Africa. The confederacy wouldn't have any of this bullshit welfare either, the south would have dominated the north. Fuck the yankees.
@dffykvn traitors? i guarantee you there are more patriots in the south than the north. we all love america, but we love the south more. none of us give a shit about the north. the only reason you won the war was because of your cowardly blockade. you never once defeated us force to force. the reason? we grow up learning to shoot and fight. you people are weak.
@amdsoccer94 And I'm sure you aren't a bunch of dumbass crybabies that STILL can't come to terms with the fact that you fucking lost the war and are such sore fucking losers that even though slavery should have been over you still went for de facto slavery aka jim crow, fought for segregation well past the sell by date and are a bunch of bed sheet wearing faggots.
@dffykvn 1) you only won because of your cowardly blockades, you never won force to force
"slavery as an institution is a moral and political evil"-General Robert E Lee
"I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people" -Abraham Lincoln
@amdsoccer94 More of that good ol fashioned southern revisionist history?
The vice president of the confederacy said that it was about slavery.
The south told the north that there'd be war if lincoln was elected.
The south expelled or arrested pro abolitionist speakers.
But no, a few fuckwit bedsheet wearers try to rewrite history and all of the other people that share a single brain cell between them are dumb enough to believe it.
@amdsoccer94 Dammit I'm sorry, I typed Kentucky instead of kansas without thinking...my bad
Just typing this up before your AH HAH! moment -_-
But I guess your idiot heroes being anti states rights and talking about how there'd be a secession BEFORE the election and writing how slavery was the main cause in their freaking constitution and publications just isn't enough evidence...I'd have to cast a spell to bring Davis' corpse back to life and confess to idiots like you before youd believe
I willingly take the confederate pledge of allegiance.i Salute The Confederate flag with reverence affection and undying devotion to the cause for which it stands for .i for sake all other allegiances and ties Deo Vindice
I am continually amazed why poor white Southerner would fight for a wealthy plantation owners right to keep black men enslaved. It makes no sense. The plantation owners justified slavery by saying they were bringing Christianity to heathens but this lie was exposed when the Virginia legislature passed a law saying if any slave accepted Christ they got their freedom. The plantations banned Bibles and preachers. The legislature reverse the law since the slaves needed Christ more than freedom.
@exenrontexas The Poor white Southerner fought for the wealthy plantation owners first off because they had a draft system in place. Second the wealthy plantation owners came up with a story that secession was all about state rights and some tariff that was unfair to the South. It was really unfair to the Wealthy plantation owner because it cost him money . In short it was a "rich mans war and a poor mans fight" until they finally smarten up and started deserting the military.
@686204 pretty much right. YOu forgot one MAJOR thing.
Free speech had stopped from 1820 on. Before 1820 there were 135 anti slavery publications in the South. When cotton money started to take control -- they outlawed free speech about slavery -- exhiled or killed all those against slavery. The "anti indendiary laws" were quite strong/
So southern Scum dictated what the people heard in newspaper, even religions were told what to preach, and what not to.
@exenrontexas Read the newspapers and books in the South from 1855-1860, especially 1860. Jesus Christ -- every sentence is am assault on the "evil North" the "black republicans" the "niggerlovers"
DId you know Southern historian Pollard, in one of the first "history books" written after the war by the South, claimed the South had warned -- promised-- the North, that if Lincln won, there would be war.
DId you know the South demanded 5 ultimatums? All about slavery?
@FreeLunchTax So why do the poor white Americans support the GOP since they get almost nothing from them and since the GOP has such a long history of enslaving them?
Any one of talking shit about Forrest needs to go back and read some history;I suggest you start with Bedford Forrest by Lyttle; you may reconsider quoting Foote. I have around 16 books in the house by him and others loaned out. While he is very correct on some things ,he is very slanted at other times.
@TheGermfr1 what "history" are you talking about? The South spent 150 years covering up anything truthful at all
Lee's torture of children -- Davis being caught running away in his wife's dress -- the amazing cowardice of both Lee AND Davis at Richmond. The 40 year Nazi like totalitarian shit by the South, the violent and illegal attempts to spread slavery.
You fucks have avoided real history like a whore avoids real work.
Before the Civil War, Bedford went from dirt poor, to one of the richest men in the South, by buying CHILDREN -- something many slavers would not do. He then force marched the children to the death south.
Another speciality of his -- buying very light colored "negro" girls, of any age, who looked white. Bedford made good money selling them to whore houses.
It has been pretty well established that over 65,000 free blacks joined the Confederate Army and Navy with 13,000 soldiers and 1,650 sailors actually being in combat against the North. Black historians Evrin Jordan and Edward Smith have published books on this
@wijse wrong you stupid fuck. The only thing established -- by record -- is the debate to draft slaves-- which was REJECTED until the last month of the war, and slaves were STILL to be slaves.
There were blacks around the CSA -- but not IN the CSA/ Over a million slaves were forced to work for the Confederates --- 150,000 in Richmond alone, building the massive earth works.
@wijse You stupid fuck -- its been established there were NO blacks in the regular CSA -- NONE. Because if there were, you stupid fuck, why was the CSA Congress debating on allowing them in, by the end of the war? If they were in already, you stupid fuck, why debate letting them in? you fucking idiot.
The last month of the war, CSA decided to draft slaves -- but the war ended, none were drafted, you stupid fuck
@biblesnbarbells wrong dumb ass. Forrest went into business with two guys who specialized in auctions -- and bought all the children and light skinned women they could.
Forrest personal "farm" was actually a bunch of large cattle pens, where he kept the children -- and others. He would gather enough children together, have them chained by the neck, then pay thugs with whips and slave dogs to force march the children to the deep South.
@biblesnbarbells See the South's own history, written at the time. How's that suit you? Pollard wrote several times about the last days in Richmond, each time putting more blame on Davis, less on Lee. But the point is they both ran like pussies, and ordered the city burned. The 80 year old mayor had to ride out to Union troops to ASK for help put out the fires LEE's men started.
Lee left first-- what was Davis supposed to do? Davis actually stuck around to steal gold.
@FreeLunchTax Wow, you are seriously a fucking retard. Can you go somewhere else to spew bullshit and incorrect information? I bet you're either a Negro or a self hating white liberal huh? Go die.
@biblesnbarbells you dumb fuck - Lee was a shit head on the field and off. He is the only Confderate general that lost more men in EVERY battle he foughtt, than the North. He was such a horrible general that Shelby Foote said losing the war was the price the South paid for having Lee.
I can't they tribute a guy who he and other 5 former Confederate generals created the KKK,the most notorious racist southern terrorist group in the history of the US.
@98bigbutt Really? A racist who freed the 45 slaves that rode with him? A racist that 3000 blacks came to the funeral of? A racist who didn't start the KKK (yankee propagana)? The KKK is most certainly not southern. For, what, 50 years, I think, it was based in an Indiana town.
@98bigbutt KKK was the least of what he did. His specialty was buying young children and light skinned black women -- women that could pass for white. He would sell them to whore houses. The children he forced marched to the Deep South. God has him in a special place in hell.
its ironic. because to revere Forrest, is to revere the system that kept the poor southern white man unemployed while rich land owners got fat off free black slave labour!! so those fancy generals were no friend of the common man!! the system also tried to prevent local rural schools for poor whites!
no general in any American war has had more face to face kills, 30, than Forrest, who was also the only soldier to enter the war as a private and leave as a General.
Forrest covered Bragg's retreat from middle Tennessee at the recoil of his cannon (guns taken from the Yankees)...that's balls!!!

Nathan Bedford Forrest was definitley on of the greatest an smartest generals of the Civil War. He's tactics with light infantry were ahead of his time. He was also a great soldier. On one occasion he charged a Union brigade by himself and was surrounded by Union troops but pulled out his saber while firing his revolver into he Union troops and used one as a human shield to get away.

@TheAverageG8mers Research before mouthing off. Forrest never "started" any KKK. Secondly, much more importantly, the ORIGINAL Klan was ex-Confederates opposing abuses by the Union occupation, very Pro-DIXIE. When, because of hiding behind masks, things started getting out of hand, Forrest disbanded it! FORTY YEARS later, the NEW Klan started up, very pro-U.S. nationalists, a new, hate agenda, and nothing to do with Forrest. Research Jubilee of Pole Bearers! Research his personal guard!

The official history asserts that the North allegedly fought for the liberation of slaves, but it's a lie. The Yankees wanted to deprive the South of its land and wealth, choked South economic policy duties. As a Russian saying: flogged by three skins! And the people of the South, black and white Southerners fought shoulder to shoulder against the aggression of the North, for his country, for freedom, the right to choose their own destiny and that of their children as befits a free people.

@TheBlackSkif We wanted to preserve the United States of America, economics had absolutely nothing to do with it being Southern tariffs were lower than any point since 1816, and as true as it was that an original goal of the Union army wasnt to abolish slavery it became a war aim in 1862, and one more thing I would hesitate to call any country thats economy rests on a system that allegedly is fighting for the freedom of its own people yet denies it to 1000s of other less fortunate people

янки-ветераны из Потомакской армии, пережившие двухдневное сражение с войсками генерала Джонстона у поселка Семь Сосен, с ужасом рассказывали товарищам: «В первых рядах противника находились два полка негров-мятежников. От них не было никакой пощады северянам — ни живым, ни раненым, ни павшим: они калечили, и издевались, и грабили, и убивали нас самыми жестокими способами!»

Вот ещё одно доказательство того что чёрные южане сражались за Юг:негритянский аболиционист Фредерик Дуглас, посвятивший всю жизнь борьбе за права и интересы братьев по расе, с изумлением отметил: «Немало цветных служит в Армии конфедератов! Причем не только поварами, слугами и подсобными рабочими, но — полноправными солдатами.

И ещё: Конфедерация, в отличие от Севера, не знала ни судов Линча, ни концлагерей, и дикие погромы, типа июльского, 1863 г, в Нью-Йорке, когда недовольные введением обязательной воинской повинности громилы растерзали сотни цветных и сожгли множество домов, в т.ч. негритянский детдом (десятки несчастных сирот погибли в пламени), были совершенно немыслимы в КША.

А народ Юга, чёрные и белые южане плечом к плечу сражались против агрессии севера, за свою родину, за свободу, за право самим выбирать свою судьбу и судьбу своих детей как подобает свободным людям.

"Forrest charged the brigade single-handedly, and soon found himself surrounded. He emptied his Colt Army revolvers into the swirling mass of Union soldiers and pulled out his saber, hacking and slashing. A Union infantryman fired a musket ball into Forrest's spine with a point-blank musket shot, nearly knocking him out of the saddle. Placing a Union infantryman behind him on the saddle as a shield, Forrest broke out and galloped back to his incredulous troopers."

I am continually amazed why poor white Southerner would fight for a wealthy plantation owners right to keep black men enslaved. It makes no sense. The plantation owners justified slavery by saying they were bringing Christianity to heathens but this lie was exposed when the Virginia legislature passed a law saying if any slave accepted Christ they got their freedom. The plantations banned Bibles and preachers. The legislature reverse the law since the slaves needed Christ more than freedom.

@exenrontexas The Poor white Southerner fought for the wealthy plantation owners first off because they had a draft system in place. Second the wealthy plantation owners came up with a story that secession was all about state rights and some tariff that was unfair to the South. It was really unfair to the Wealthy plantation owner because it cost him money . In short it was a "rich mans war and a poor mans fight" until they finally smarten up and started deserting the military.

@686204 pretty much right. YOu forgot one MAJOR thing.
Free speech had stopped from 1820 on. Before 1820 there were 135 anti slavery publications in the South. When cotton money started to take control -- they outlawed free speech about slavery -- exhiled or killed all those against slavery. The "anti indendiary laws" were quite strong/
So southern Scum dictated what the people heard in newspaper, even religions were told what to preach, and what not to.

@exenrontexas Read the newspapers and books in the South from 1855-1860, especially 1860. Jesus Christ -- every sentence is am assault on the "evil North" the "black republicans" the "niggerlovers"
DId you know Southern historian Pollard, in one of the first "history books" written after the war by the South, claimed the South had warned -- promised-- the North, that if Lincln won, there would be war.
DId you know the South demanded 5 ultimatums? All about slavery?

@FreeLunchTax So why do the poor white Americans support the GOP since they get almost nothing from them and since the GOP has such a long history of enslaving them?

Any one of talking shit about Forrest needs to go back and read some history;I suggest you start with Bedford Forrest by Lyttle; you may reconsider quoting Foote. I have around 16 books in the house by him and others loaned out. While he is very correct on some things ,he is very slanted at other times.
TheGermfr1 1 year ago
@TheGermfr1 what "history" are you talking about? The South spent 150 years covering up anything truthful at all
Lee's torture of children -- Davis being caught running away in his wife's dress -- the amazing cowardice of both Lee AND Davis at Richmond. The 40 year Nazi like totalitarian shit by the South, the violent and illegal attempts to spread slavery.
You fucks have avoided real history like a whore avoids real work.

markmason1000 1 year ago
@markmason1000 Bedford was a cruel violent fuck anyway.
Before the Civil War, Bedford went from dirt poor, to one of the richest men in the South, by buying CHILDREN -- something many slavers would not do. He then force marched the children to the death south.
Another speciality of his -- buying very light colored "negro" girls, of any age, who looked white. Bedford made good money selling them to whore houses.

It has been pretty well established that over 65,000 free blacks joined the Confederate Army and Navy with 13,000 soldiers and 1,650 sailors actually being in combat against the North. Black historians Evrin Jordan and Edward Smith have published books on this

@wijse wrong you stupid fuck. The only thing established -- by record -- is the debate to draft slaves-- which was REJECTED until the last month of the war, and slaves were STILL to be slaves.
There were blacks around the CSA -- but not IN the CSA/ Over a million slaves were forced to work for the Confederates --- 150,000 in Richmond alone, building the massive earth works.
CompareTaxMyths 1 year ago
@wijse You stupid fuck -- its been established there were NO blacks in the regular CSA -- NONE. Because if there were, you stupid fuck, why was the CSA Congress debating on allowing them in, by the end of the war? If they were in already, you stupid fuck, why debate letting them in? you fucking idiot.
The last month of the war, CSA decided to draft slaves -- but the war ended, none were drafted, you stupid fuck

@biblesnbarbells wrong dumb ass. Forrest went into business with two guys who specialized in auctions -- and bought all the children and light skinned women they could.
Forrest personal "farm" was actually a bunch of large cattle pens, where he kept the children -- and others. He would gather enough children together, have them chained by the neck, then pay thugs with whips and slave dogs to force march the children to the deep South.

Show me where you got this information.
biblesnbarbells 1 year ago
@biblesnbarbells See the South's own history, written at the time. How's that suit you? Pollard wrote several times about the last days in Richmond, each time putting more blame on Davis, less on Lee. But the point is they both ran like pussies, and ordered the city burned. The 80 year old mayor had to ride out to Union troops to ASK for help put out the fires LEE's men started.
Lee left first-- what was Davis supposed to do? Davis actually stuck around to steal gold.

@biblesnbarbells you dumb fuck - Lee was a shit head on the field and off. He is the only Confderate general that lost more men in EVERY battle he foughtt, than the North. He was such a horrible general that Shelby Foote said losing the war was the price the South paid for having Lee.

I can't they tribute a guy who he and other 5 former Confederate generals created the KKK,the most notorious racist southern terrorist group in the history of the US.

@98bigbutt Really? A racist who freed the 45 slaves that rode with him? A racist that 3000 blacks came to the funeral of? A racist who didn't start the KKK (yankee propagana)? The KKK is most certainly not southern. For, what, 50 years, I think, it was based in an Indiana town.
TheBoberton 1 year ago 2
@98bigbutt KKK was the least of what he did. His specialty was buying young children and light skinned black women -- women that could pass for white. He would sell them to whore houses. The children he forced marched to the Deep South. God has him in a special place in hell.

its ironic. because to revere Forrest, is to revere the system that kept the poor southern white man unemployed while rich land owners got fat off free black slave labour!! so those fancy generals were no friend of the common man!! the system also tried to prevent local rural schools for poor whites!

no general in any American war has had more face to face kills, 30, than Forrest, who was also the only soldier to enter the war as a private and leave as a General.
