I'm quoting a man, a self proclaimed southern gentleman who led a "secession" movement here on CWT several years ago. He was never shy in saying it was fine to lie to a yankee or any other non "true" southerner. Others still here, at least tacitly, agreed w/ him.
I stand by my statement of Forrest, I think he was a real SoB, I wouldn't ask him over for dinner, but I wouldn't want to face him in a fight; I'd rather he was on my side. He was a self made man and a hell of a good fighting man, I respect him for that. Forrest never claimed to be a gentleman and didn't act as one. He was a fighting man of the highest order through and through. Forrest had the courage of his convictions... something I can't say about many of the fireeaters and their slaverocracy masters. Too many survived the war for me to say otherwise.
