"The American Civil War Battle of Fort Pillow on the Mississippi River in Henning, Tennessee, also known as the Fort Pillow massacre, was fought on April 12, 1864. The battle ended with Confederate soldiers commanded by Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest massacring U.S. Army soldiers (many of them African Americans) attempting to surrender. Military historian David J. Eicher concluded: "Fort Pillow marked one of the bleakest, saddest events of American military history. The Joint Committee On the Conduct of the War immediately investigated the incident, which was widely publicized in the U.S. press. These testimonies of Wade and Gooch focused on the conduct of the war taken primarily from Mound City Illinois Hospital with the witnesses being survivors.".
