The battle ended with Confederate soldiers commanded by Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest massacring U.S. Army soldiers many of them African Americans attempting to surrender. Military historian David J. Eicher concluded: "Fort Pillow marked one of the bleakest saddest events of American military history.

These testimonies of Wade and Gooch focused on the conduct of the war taken primarily from Mound City Illinois Hospital with the witnesses being survivors.".
