Yes, Forrest owned slaves, as did most in the South, including such men as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. He also released slaves, who then fought under his command in the Confederate armies. He was also very proud of these released slaves, saying they were some of his best soldiers. The KKK was not founded by Forrest, and was first aimed not at blacks, but at the Carpetbaggers who swept into the South after the war and used their position in the Reconstruction to despoil those who had property. The KKK unquestionably degenerated into a tool of oppression, and Forrest denounced the trend first, then tried to disband them. And in spite of the fact that he was a general in the Confederacy, after the war Forrest was quite interested in reconciliation between the races. He was even given an award by a civil rights organization that was a predecessor to the NAACP. For all his flaws, Forrest was way ahead of his time in his views on racial reconciliation.

The proper response to these idiots is with historical accuracy. Forrest's only act as the "leader of the Klan, he did not found it at all, was to DISBAND it! Forrest was a complex man, and a great example of why history should be studied in total, and not in vague generalities. One other note, Cohen voted against a move to change Confederate memorials, NOT JUST the Forrest memorial. The sad fact is this. Some people have been trying to destroy all Confederate monuments for years, they prefer erasing history, rather than teaching it it seems.
