The Forsworn were NOT peaceful. They would sacrifice people to their Gods. Ulfric didn't kill all of them. Some that converted live in Markarth today.

It doesn't matter how Ulfric won. That fight showed he was clearly the better combatent. If Torygg can't protect his throne, hoiw can be protect Skyrim? Also, the Thu'um was made so the Nords could fight. Jurgen Windcaller just couldn't accept the fact that he lost.
