Nathan Bedford Forrest and the Battle of Fort Pillow

<p>Yankee historians delight in calling Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest the Butcher of Fort Pillow claiming that he instigated a racist massacre of surrendering black Union troops during the battle at Henning Tennessee on April 12 1864. But is this true? Absolutely not! It is merely the North's fabricated version one based not on reality but on opinion nescience emotion sciolism presentism spite and an anti-South bias that is still very much alive to this day.</p><p><br></p><p>For those who are interested in the truth about the conflict award-winning historian and Forrest scholar Colonel Lochlainn Seabrook has written <em>Nathan Bedford Forrest and the Battle of Fort Pillow: Yankee Myth Confederate Fact</em>. This brief but comprehensive investigation blows the lid off what pro-North writers like to refer to as a controversy but which was in fact nothing more than an ordinary fight in which an overwhelming force (2500 racially integrated Confederates) assaulted an indefensible fort filled with belligerent drunken soldiers (600 racially segregated Yankees) who refused to surrender in the face of impossible odds.
