    Not when you’re at war. Are you saying the fire bombing if Tokyo was illegal during WWII?

    What about the rights of the people in those communities who are offended by bigots and traitors?

No single individual in the entire Civil War rose as far as he did. He and General Thomas were the only Civil War Generals to never lose a battle and Forest was the only Confederate General not defeated in the field and did not surrender. His tactics were the basis of today’s modern mobile arms and reads straight out out today’s army field manual. General Guiderion of Blitzkreig fame modeled his tactics after Forest and this from an uneducated frontiersman with no formal military education or training. No modern General has ever killed as many enemy combatants in hand to hand combat either. So Forest, warts and all was a fascinating man, a natural genius and a war criminal and racist but he was still the best General The Confederacy had and had he been in over all command the Confederacy probably wouldn’t have lost.
    There is so much more to commanding a whole army than fighting,there is supplies,dealing with subordinates,etc.
    To say Forest would have won the war for the South is laughable.

    A lot of us do not respect traitors who decided they did not want to be American citizens anymore, left our nation to form their own country, took up arms with the aim of killing American soldiers serving under the Stars and Stripes, and attacked American military installations.

    That kind of treason rubs a lot of us the wrong way

    And the north committed a lot of atrocities against the South also. But that is unimportant. The civil war ended over 150 years ago. It is only idiot social warriors that make an issue of it! Anyone who had any part in the war is long gone! It fucking happened let it go.

    R.E.Lee was a much bigger enemy of the USA then Benedict Arnold.

    Napoleon is overrated

    No actually it isn’t at all. I didn’t say he would have won I said the Confederacy could have won the war because Forest was an extremely competent guerrilla commander and had the Confederacy gone that route they probably could have won. Keep in mind that the Confederacy could have won the Civil War by simply not losing it. They only needed a stalemate to win. The Union had the considerably more difficult task of having to conquer a vast territory. Had the Confederacy had a Commander who didn’t waste limited and irreplaceable resources as Lee did, they very well could have.
