Confederate Sword

Is there a statue of the leader of the KKK on a horse charging with a sword in Nashville TN?

If so, how can this be. It is surrounded by Confederate flags and shows that we are still a racist town. We must still be fighting a war here. Welcome to Nashville.

Forrest was named an “honorary member” of the Klan not the leader. He really didn’t have much to do with them.

“In the Congressional investigation on Klan activities in 1871, the committee concluded that Forrest’s involvement with the Klan was limited to trying to get it to disband. They determined there was no evidence that he had founded or led the Klan.”
