“Negro soldiers cannot cope with Southerners”
Nathan Bedford Forrest (1821–1877) Confederate Army general
Regarding the Fort Pillow massacre, as quoted in Personal Memoirs, by U.S. Grant, (Library of America, 1990), p. 483.

My loss was about twenty killed. It is hoped that these facts will demonstrate to the Northern people that Negro soldiers cannot cope with Southerners.
