“The slaughter was awful. words cannot describe the scene. the poor, deluded black men would run up to our men, fall upon their knees and with uplifted hands scream for mercy, but they were ordered to their feet and then shot down. Blood, human blood stood about in pools and brains could have been gathered up in any quantity.” -Achilles Clark

Nathan Bedford Forrest was a Confederate Army General, as well as owning a large amount of land & slaves. His morbid history is Racist, Rough and Rotten! Let’s not erase history, instead let’s learn about ALL of this man’s barbaric actions!

This podcast is hosted by Joshua Waters, the queer & sultry “Not so Evil Queen”

Are you obsessed with true crime and rotten people? If you have a favorite murder and you’re a crime junkie with a slight morbid since of curiosity you’re in the right place. If you can’t get enough Dateline or 20/20 and you don’t quite trust going out alone in your own back yard because people are shady - yeah me too. And if you also enjoy listening to Generation Why, True Crime Garage, The Vanished, or basically any podcast about unsolved cases and mysteries - well you’ll probably enjoy this one!
