demand protection of all civil war soldiers grave sites.

Created by J.M. on July 11, 2015

Stop the desecration of the body of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife from their 110 year resting place.

Forrest was a businessman who become wealthy in the cotton trade prior to the Civil War. He abandoned that to fight federal forces once the war commenced, eventually becoming a lieutenant general in the Confederate Army. He was known for waging brutal warfare against federal forces in Mississippi and Tennessee.
These soldiers gravesites deserve federal historic protection.
