[QUOTE="Mediaeval, post: 68297087, member: 316149"] According to his biography, Forrest later "took a strong and highly controversial stand against the Klan itself." After a notorious incident in West Tennessee in which masked men took 16 blacks out of a jail and presumably killed them all, Forrest was quoted as saying that if he "were entrusted with proper authority he would capture and exterminate the white marauders who disgrace their race by this cowardly murder of negroes." His biographer wrote, "The reality is that over the length of his lifetime Nathan Bedford Forrest's racial attitudes probably developed more, and more in the direction of liberal enlightenment, than those of most other Americans in the nation's history."
