Nathan Bedford Forrest

The Confederate that William Sherman feared. Which is why he went off to kill innocent women and children instead of actually fighting battles since he failed usually.

Sir this is a wendy's

Sherman was a cowardly ape nigger kike

With respect sir, nigger.

Forrest was pretty based. The Southern politicians that participated in the heightening of tensions over decades while doing nothing to build up an industrial base for a war were complete idiots however.

Your orders total is $14.88. Please pull up to the second window

Thank you sir.

Politics...?

Forrest almost killed Sherman himself on April 8 1862. After Shiloh, Sherman pursued the Confederates. Forrest and his cavalry hid in the woods off of his flank at Fallen Timbers. Sherman's vanguard fled as Forrest's men galloped near, and years later he said" I ingloriously fled pell mell through the mud, and I'm sure had he not emptied his pistols as he passed the skirmish line, my career would have ended there."
Bedford charged headlong into the Yankee vanguard—far ahead of his own troops—where he was wounded and very nearly captured. Forrest’s aggression, however, paid off; the Federal forces fled in the direction of Pittsburg Landing, ending their pursuit of Beauregard's army.
If only fate were kinder.

Is it not politically? I think it is. Leftists you see idolize Sherman because he butchered those evil racist nazi traitor hillbilly redneck southerners.

Forrest was a brilliant divisional and corp commander and tactician, but he never commanded any force of any strategic significance. By the time he was a Lieutenant General, he had a force so small it was not significant and the war was already over.

Forrest fucked up by going OFP instead of showing out at Gettysburg.

What is with all these civil war threads of a sudden? The other night there was one faggot that had 3 threads going.

The Southern politicians that participated in the heightening of tensions

You make it sound like it was all on them. Lincoln was the biggest one in heightening tensions.

Democrat Congressman Alexander Long asserted on the floor of the House in April 1864 that when Lincoln heard the Confederates had opened fire on Sumter, his words were "I knew they would do it!" ...and on its first mention to the President he exclaimed, "I knew they would do it [fire on Sumter]; which to my mind is conclusive that it was intended expressly for that purpose."
~ Congressional Globe, 38th Congress, 1st Session

Me personally I made this one cause I grew tired of that guy spamming the board with reeee fuck the South and GLUCK GLUCK GLUCK on Sherman's cock

Both sides had been heightening tensions for decades, the reason I'm criticizing the Southern politicians is because when you're participating in the song and dance of saber rattling you should actually prepare in case shit kicks off.

bump

Ooh I get what you mean now.

DO IT AGAIN, UNCLE BILLY!

Yankees love the negro as long as its confined to the South. Same with the spics.

I don't have much of a dog in the Civil War fight because my ancestors who were already in the US seceded from the Confederacy during it and fought both Union and Confederate troops.

What is the most based Civil War documentary
I hunger for knowledge
I need everything
From right after the War of 1812 up until the shit happened

West Virginia?

From right after the War of 1812 up until the shit happened

I don't know about that but I remember watching the Ken Burns one on Netflix years ago.. before they removed it.
Books on the other hand I can point you too Shelby Foote.
There's actually a really good community of Confederate twitter accounts that are knowledgeable and friendly.

I am more into early American history, 1780s until 1830s

No, small county in another Appalachian state. We basically bled them with guerilla tactics when they'd try to garrison overnight and both decided that we were irrelevant and more trouble than we were worth.

Why does everyone talk about that documentary? Was it really that good?

fpbp lmao what is this thread

Nobody likes a sore loser OP

Its been a long time since I've watched it but I remember liking it. It was made before ya know Dylan Roof shot up some nogs in a church and all of a sudden we gotta tear down them evil confederate nazi racist traitor statues and rename military bases and schools because oh we're just so morally righteous and by god our shit does not stink.
Ah. Sorry.

i used to fuck my gf every night to that documentary and wed fall asleep to it

It is, but unfortunately, it also enabled all the other shit ones that he's done ever since. It's really his only good one.
Kind of a one hit wonder with the Civil War. Style works well with the material and the historical settings, but not so much with other topics.

It’s available for free now on Freevee/ prime or you can just torrent it if you don’t want to deal with ads

The South is SEETHING again, hahaha

Cuck! :D

Union boys own you and your women <3

Captcha:

HJAHA

is laughing at you Confedertards

W-what are House and Body servants?

Fuckien Jews supported the Confederacy, just because they disliked Blacks does not make them automatically Based

Maids, cooks, valets

Jews played both sides, just like they always do

Anon wants me to believe there were no jews in the North.
Zero jews in Jew York City.
Lol

Vietnam documentary was great too. WW2 sucked cock and ass

there were Jews but they were more of a Fifth Column then anything, they promoted the Copperhead movement and other neutralist bullshit among Evangelicals in the North

Wasn't Kenny Burns the one that pioneered shots where the camera pans across a still image? It's used everywhere even to this day.
