Mississippi SCV wants honorary licence plate for Nathan Bedford Forrest. The Confederate general remains one of the most controversial figures of that era.
He did do some of his best work in Mississippi. I once met in man in a Mississippi bar who looked like Forrest. He told me he was the general reincarnated. "Sometimes at night I can still hear the cannon fire."
He was a pretty good pool player, too.
