I'm interested to read in this Wiki about Nathan Bedford Forrest that 43 of his slaves "served faithfully until the end of the war. Although they had many chances to leave, they chose to remain loyal to the South and to Forrest".

Remembering the fascinating discussion of The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, and the way in which Catters revealed personal knowledge, I'm wondering if there's the same kind of memory of this.

I somehow doubt that these slaves were delighted to serve the man who founded the Ku Klux Klan. What do people with more knowlege than myself say?
