The Battle occurred during the American Civil War on 1864, when Confederate forces attacked and captured the Union outpost of Fort Pillow in Tennessee. The incident is notorious for allegations of brutal treatment and killings, particularly of African American soldiers and white officers, even after they had surrendered or were attempting to flee. The event highlights the racial tensions and violence that characterized the Civil War.
