Honestly when you've been here 15 mins, and hit 1,000 it's not much of a milestone.

OK I didn't see it at first but what is the exact question? Name the town? Name the movie? Sorry to be so particular but I'm in it to win it. LOL And is it OK to try and locate this answer on the internet? Would that be cheating?

Battle of Athens in 1946. Citizens from Athens and Etowah, Tennessee led the rebellion. Some people call it the McMinn County War. Read about this when things got bad a year ago.

Yes indeed. Very cool story and thanks for bringing it to our attention. I found it online. Once I found it online I was too busy reading about it to post an answer Plus I felt like that would be cheating if anyone else could give you the answer without googling.

I knew about it without googling because it happened on my birthday and it is one of the few things of note that happened on my bday so i was reminded of it anytime there was a on this day in history thing for my bday.

Thanks. Maybe I'll add you to my short list to hit when I get stocked back up. You probably had me beat. I posted this story once or twice on my Facebook. I think too many people are scared to stand for their rights. Set guns aside and think cigars. Not saying we need to grab pitchforks and torches but when a petition comes around or something is to be voted on or have a public hearing on take part. Educate the ignorant sheep who will do whatever a celeb or their poltical party says. Tired of seeing our freedoms stripped away.
