Battle of Fort Pillow
The Battle of Fort Pillow, also known as the Fort Pillow massacre, was fought on April 12, 1864, at Fort Pillow on the Mississippi River in Henning, Tennessee, during the American Civil War. The battle ended with a massacre of Federal troops (most of them African American) attempting to surrender, by soldiers under the command of Confederate Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
