Nathan Bedford Forrest: A Civil War Officer

The Civil War produced two geniuses, Abraham Lincoln and Nathan Bedford Forrest. He put an ad in the Memphis paper that says, if you want to whip up on the Yankees, come with me. The weird thing about this is a lot of these guys when the war broke out there, the CSA was so loosely affiliatedThat someone like Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was a slave trader from this region, didn't know anything about warfare.
