I don't get it big Dan?

Outside of taking an ass whipping from Nathan Forrest what is his significance?

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

I want to like him for that but I just can't. 
Plus who knows what may have happened if he did not burn it down?  It may not have become the cesspool that it is today.

He didn't do a very good job, they rebuilt it.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'

You can't trust a damned yankee to do anything right. Hell, he left 3 buildings standing.

When news of Croxton's action reached General Forrest's headquarters, the conversation went something like this:

Messenger: "General Forrest, the yankees have set another fire!"

Gen. Forrest: "Where?"

Messenger: "Tuscaloosa, General. They set fire to the university of alabama!"

Gen. Forrest's CoS: "Sir, shall I dispatch a squad to engage these yankees?"

Gen. Forrest: "Hmmm ....."

Messenger: "General, shall I return to Alabama with news that help is on its way?"

Gen. Forrest: "Hmmm ....... hmmm ....."
