V roce 1864, b\u011bhem americk\u00e9 ob\u010dansk\u00e9 v\u00e1lky, vedl gener\u00e1l Konfederace Nathan Bedford Forrest n\u00e1jezd na Fort Pillow, pevnost Unie na \u0159ece Mississippi. Fort br\u00e1nila mal\u00e1 pos\u00e1dka voj\u00e1k\u016f Unie, v\u010detn\u011b 262 p\u0159\u00edslu\u0161n\u00edk\u016f Barevn\u00fdch jednotek Spojen\u00fdch st\u00e1t\u016f (USCT).<\/p>\n\n
Konfederace po\u010detn\u011b p\u0159evy\u0161ovala obr\u00e1nce Unie a rychle pevnost ovl\u00e1dla. Mnoho voj\u00e1k\u016f Unie se pokusilo vzd\u00e1t, ale Konfederace pokra\u010dovala v palb\u011b a zam\u011b\u0159ovala se zejm\u00e9na na voj\u00e1ky USCT. Asi 70 % voj\u00e1k\u016f USCT bylo zabito spolu s nezn\u00e1m\u00fdm po\u010dtem civilist\u016f.<\/p>\n\n
Masakr ve Fort Pillow byla d\u011bsiv\u00e1 ud\u00e1lost, kter\u00e1 \u0161okovala n\u00e1rod. Voj\u00e1ci Unie, kte\u0159\u00ed z bitvy unikli, hl\u00e1sili, \u017ee Konfederace zast\u0159elila neozbrojen\u00e9 mu\u017ee a popravila teenagery. Jeden voj\u00e1k Konfederace napsal dom\u016f, \u017ee byl sv\u011bdkem toho, jak byli \u010derno\u0161i \u201epost\u0159\u00edleni jako psi\u201c.<\/p>\n\n
Masakr ve Fort Pillow se stal bojov\u00fdm pok\u0159ikem pro USCT. Bojovali state\u010dn\u011b po zbytek v\u00e1lky, v\u011bdomi si toho, \u017ee nebudou zach\u00e1zeni jako s v\u00e1le\u010dn\u00fdmi zajatci, pokud budou zajati.<\/p>\n\n
Po v\u00e1lce byl Fort Pillow opu\u0161t\u011bn a ch\u00e1tral. V roce 1971 byl ozna\u010den za st\u00e1tn\u00ed park. V posledn\u00edch letech byl park renovov\u00e1n a roz\u0161\u00ed\u0159en a nyn\u00ed zahrnuje muzeum a pam\u00e1tn\u00edk voj\u00e1k\u016fm USCT, kte\u0159\u00ed tam zem\u0159eli.<\/p>\n\n
P\u0159\u00edb\u011bh Fort Pillow je p\u0159ipom\u00ednkou hr\u016fz otroctv\u00ed a boje za rasovou spravedlnost. Je d\u016fle\u017eit\u00e9 si pamatovat ob\u011bti voj\u00e1k\u016f USCT, kte\u0159\u00ed bojovali za svou svobodu, a d\u011bdictv\u00ed rasismu, kter\u00e9mu \u010delili.<\/p>\n\n
Park Ranger Robby Tidwell sehr\u00e1l z\u00e1sadn\u00ed roli p\u0159i zachov\u00e1n\u00ed historie Fort Pillow. Vedl \u00fasil\u00ed o restaurov\u00e1n\u00ed pevnosti, vybudov\u00e1n\u00ed nov\u00e9ho muzea a vytvo\u0159en\u00ed vzd\u011bl\u00e1vac\u00edch program\u016f pro studenty. Tidwell v\u011b\u0159\u00ed, \u017ee je d\u016fle\u017eit\u00e9 si pamatovat ob\u011bti voj\u00e1k\u016f USCT a u\u010dit se z chyb minulosti.<\/p>\n\n
