I think about what my ancestors in that battle would have thought of the government we have now.

I can safely say the Overmountain Men with Col. Cleveland did not fight for a massive police state working day and night to overturn the will of the people and keep themselves luxuriating in undeserved power and wealth.

One of my ancestors was one of several who claimed to have been the one who shot Ferguson at King’s Mountain. And one of my other Revolutionary War veteran ancestors served at King’s Mountain as well according to a family bible, IIRC.
