.....is the ability to ignore.
1. Wikipedia, the main stream press and news, and sources like Britannica are considered reputable and useful for gaining knowledge.
But they aren't.
They all lie for the Left, either by commission, or by omission....ignoring context and important facts.
2. Which brings me to today's birthday boy.
Nathan Bedford Forrest, (born July 13, 1821, near Chapel Hill, Tennessee, U.S.—died October 29, 1877, Memphis, Tennessee), Confederate cavalry commander in the American Civil War (1861–65) who was often described as a “born military genius.” His rule of action, “Get there first with the most men,” became one of the most often quoted statements of the war. Forrest is also one of the most controversial figures from the Civil War era. His command was responsible for the massacre of African American Union troops stationed at Fort Pillow, Tennessee, in April 1864, and he served as the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan in the early years of Reconstruction.

3. The article goes on for 5-10 more detail-filled paragraphs.
Perhaps I missed it but the word 'Democrat' is missing.
4. Here's why it shouldn't be missing, ignored, or brushed-out:
Liberal historian Eric Foner writes that the Klan was “…a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party…” Foner, “Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877,” p. 425
5. Don't the Democrats claim that they need to indoctrinate our children with Critical Race Theory because it is "real history"???
Of course, it isn't....but this is:
"The night riders move through the darkness, white against the black road....they go about their business, their horsed draped, guns and bullwhips banging dully against saddles.
....this is the South Carolina of the 1870s, not of the turn of a new millennium, and the night riders are the terror of these times. They roam upcountry, visiting their version of justice on poor blacks and the Republicans that support them, refusing to bow to the requirements of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments."
From the novel "The White Road," by John Connolly
And the Democrat Party started a war to maintain slavery.
Bet they don't teach that in NEA/government school.
