During the war, Forrest worked as a horse merchant and plantation owner while living in poverty in Tennessee where he was born. Due to his skill in cavalry combat, Forrest quickly ascended through the ranks after enlisting in the Confederate Army as a private in 1861. He was renowned for his aggressive strategies, which frequently comprised hit-and-run assaults and surprise attacks against Union forces. At the Battle of Brice's Crossing in 1864, Forrest achieved his most well-known triumph when he routed a Union force that was twice as large as his own. After the war, Forrest became involved in politics and the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist group that terrorized African Americans and their allies. Forrest was the first Grand Wizard of the KKK, though he later claimed to have disavowed the group. The print shows a portrait style photo of General Forrest as he looks towards the viewer.
