On August 1, 1946, a group of Southern World War Two veterans in Athens, Tennessee, fought and won the only successful armed insurrection in the United States since the War of Independence. These brave men embodied that irrepressible Southern spirit, that martial valor and moral sublimity that suffused the souls of Dixie and her children for generations upon generations, stretching backwards in time through the annals of Indo-European civilization — that constitution which we fervently hope has not drained from our blood forevermore. The Battle of Athens stands, then, as a monumental event in the history of Southern, and thus Western, civilization, the fulfillment of an ancestral promise; so, too, does the Battle of Athens represent a call echoing through the ages to fall on modern ears that must not remain deaf — a call to actualize the destiny that our forefathers spilt so much blood, both their own and their enemies’, to leave to us.

Those guys fought against a corrupt bureaucracy run by Democrats. Looks like we might need to do it gain here soon.
ReplyDeleteThe "Battle of Athens" is a great example of Americanism. The commies (BLAMTIFA, MSM, SPLC, demonRatz, etc.) loathe stories such as this.
ReplyDeleteI watched this movie a few years ago. It is a pretty good film and for the most part historically accurate.

This was a very good read and it shows that veterans and non-veterans may be called on to do the same. I fervently hope that is not the case but I am ready to take up arms again should I need to do so.
DeleteI was born in Athens and knew some of the men involved, including Bill White. Tough men. We have a lot to live up to.
