No he didn't. His name was used in conjunction with the Klan but he never was involved. As you should know, during reconstruction the Klan was considered an enemy by the Northern States. Therefore Forrest was investigated by Congress for his alleged connection but no evidence was ever found that he was in anyway involved. He had even written editorials calling for the Klan to be banned.
Just one more of those "fake news" stories put out by the New York Times.
Carolina73 is just because after 9 moves zigzagging south, I finally found my home in South Carolina. The weather is great. The people are great. The college sports are great. The food, not so much.
The 73 means nothing. I think it popped up as a open option somewhere when Carolina was taken.
Abby is my horse, she was born in 08.
Chose Sunsettommy, because I used to drive out to a dark site out of city, to set up the 25" F5 Telescope, then sit down to watch the red/orange Sunset slowly turn into dark sky. Thomas is my first name.
"Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again." Ronald Reagan
One of my favorite obscure characters in my favorite novel.

The second time, we broke the rudder and had to get towed in.
The third time we almost sank.
He sold the boat.
