We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.
— Nathan Bedford Forrest
No damn man kills me and lives.
I've got no respect for any young man who won't join the colors.
I am not an enemy of the Negro. We want him here among us; he is the only laboring class we have.
Never stand and take a charge... charge them too.
I ended the war a horse ahead.
War means fighting, and fighting means killing.
Get there first with the most.
