Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the Klan after the Civil War. Tennessee has a state park named after him. I'm sure thats gonna change. He slaughtered an entire black regiment at Fort Pillow that surrendered to him. There are many scholarly debates on whether or not this was true. Robert E Lee called him "The Devil himself". He was a brilliant Calvary general. Ruthless. His tactics are still studied at West Point.

Roy Moore (and other confederate state republicans )doesn't like the 14th Amendment The host agreed with Moore, before turning his attention to the 14th Amendment, which was passed during the Reconstruction period following the Civil War and guaranteed citizenship and equal rights and protection to former slaves and has been used in landmark Supreme Court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Obergefell v. Hodges. "People also don't understand, and being from the South I bet you get it, the 14th Amendment was only approved at the point of the gun," the host said. "Yeah, it had very serious problems with its approval by the states," Moore replied. "The danger in the 14th Amendment, which was to restrict, it has been a restriction on the states using the first Ten Amendments by and through the 14th Amendment. To restrict the states from doing something that the federal government was restricted from doing and allowing the federal government to do something which the first Ten Amendments prevented them from doing. If you understand the incorporation doctrine used by the courts and what it meant. You'd understand what I'm talking about."
