The Marine Corps started in Tun’s Tavern.
The Revolution in Sam Adam’s tavern where the ‘Sons of Liberty’ met.
Our fist revolt after the Revolution was The Whiskey Revolt.

I associate the South, and especially the moonshining South, with being anti-large government.

My grandfather made a fortune smuggling whiskey across the Detroit river during prohibition. I bought 100 acres of land off of what he left to me from it.

I sleep well at night too.
