I think it was more his role in the Indian wars that did him in as a symbol, rather than any coon references

According to history. Daniel Boone never wore a coon skin cap; he preferred a standard broad brimmed hat and would have looked like a forerunner to the cowboy. The coon skin cap was Davy Crockett’s trademark. But why expect liberals to know American history. On that note, Davy Crockett was a Democrat.
