Many would say bad, as he was a slave-trader, who helped to start the KKK (although he eventually told them to stop their violent activities.) His impact on history is really that he was the best soldier the Confederacy ever produced, and Jefferson Davis confessed that his biggest mistake as Confederate president was not to have promoted Forrest to the highest rank. (The aristocratic Davis did not believe in promoting men of humble origin, who had not been trained at West Point.)
