That seemed probable, given today’s political climate. But I looked it up and found this at wiki:

“Humansville was named for James Human, who settled in the area in 1834.[8] During the U.S. Civil War, the town was home to a garrison of 150 federal troops. During Shelby’s Raid of 1863, Confederates surrounded and overwhelmed the outpost, leaving 17 killed and wounded.”
