The Battle of Athens (Tennessee) A Case Study in Grassroots Restoration of the Rule of Law
The Patriot Post ^ | 5/3/12 | Mark Alexander

As a direct descendent of Tennessee Patriots who were veterans of every major conflict in defense of American Liberty from the American Revolution forward, I stand in reverence of my home state’s distinguished list of Patriot sons and daughters. From 19th-century notables like Andrew Jackson*, Davy Crockett, Sam Houston, Nathan Bedford Forrest** and Sam Davis, to a long list of 20th-century Patriots headed by Alvin York, warriors from the “Volunteer State” have distinguished themselves in battle with honor and courage. Even our state’s nickname was earned in recognition of the valiant service of volunteer soldiers during the War of 1812, most notably during the Battle of New Orleans.

There was a group of lesser-known Tennessee Patriots, however, whose efforts to defend Liberty at home in 1946 were no less noble. This group of World War II veterans took up arms to restore Rule of Law in the quaint east Tennessee town of Athens (McMinn County), between Chattanooga and Knoxville. That fight became known as the Battle of Athens.

Since ya won’t answer, because you’re extremely evasive deceptive person, at least provide a post# so I can see your answer to me in your own words.

Lets see it.

In case your head has been in the sand somewhere the Article 5 movement is growing and has been in the news as well as in multiple threads here on FR. But if you haven’t read about it then shame on you
