Was Nathan Bedford Forrest a Villain?
So ive heard alot of conflicting information about this man, especially in regards to his involvement with the KKK and the Fort Pillow massacre. I recall reading some of Shermans letters essentially saying that since Forrest was in the back, it wouldn't have been correct to blame him for the massacre. Secondly, as for his involvement in the KKK I have also heard that he distanced himself from the organization.

 What do you guys think? Was Forrest a villain, misunderstood, a combination of both?
