"A not insignificant amount "
===
So in normal language, does this mean a significant amount? Jeez!
And don't get all high and mighty -- I probably have way more degrees than you -- doesn't make me better or smarter -- just seemed like a pretentious statement. But that's just my humble opinion

fouldeliverer claims to be a teacher meaning he's a hacked off liberal with a Bachelors degree helping revise history to suit his own agenda. My wife and I are both educated in history as well. I did extensive research in the civil war an have posted info in multiple threads.

Forrest from his own primary sources listed the many times he commented on how freed blacks served his regiments. He also founded the KKK and then later spoke at organizations that would become precursors to the NCAAP on positive race relations. History can show all the sides to the story and how people can change their mind and positions and how morals and values don't transcend time, they evolve slowly over human history. We can only examine it through our own perspective but the smartest of us do it without bias and attempt to understand the entire scope, not the most politically correct one.
