He was so mad.

of course Crockett was from E. TN (I grew up not far from one of his childhood homes - we went for a field trip) and East, Tennesseans don't always play well with others not even other Tennesseans. Probably why we founded that colony in Texas.

Yeah but you are a known Texas hater and not just a cursory hate but the real thing.

Davy cussed out Nashville and state lawmakers. East, TN and Knoxville responded by making him a mascot.

He really was. There were a lot more East, Tennesseans and Tennesseans in general who are far more worthy of being mythologized.

Davy was just mad he'd lost an election in the 1st District. Crockett also made the mistake of backing the wrong horse -- Andrew Jackson's opponent.

But history rewards the lunatics so does UT and Disney.

Well Tennesseans are really good at killing period even our exiled politicians can shoot. Davy was just one of many.

^^Davy woulda been a better shot but he was a politician.

Besides the Alamo is like Thermopylae where 7,000 Greeks held off Xerxes 150,000 Persians. Ultimately the Greeks lost just like Davy lost but we don't talk about that part. We talk about the incredible stand against all odds.

Why does a Confederate flag even exist? Slavery. The war was about slavery. The South seceded and started a new country 100% because of slavery.

How on earth can you fly that flag and have it NOT be racially charged?


You serious Clark?
