The Battle of Athens was an armed rebellion led by WWII veterans and citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the tyrannical local government in August 1946.

Great video, makes me want to watch the movie now. Makes me proud to be a Southerner. These Tennessee WWII vets had fought the fight oversees and sure as hell were not coming home to these tyrannical thug local government elitist sheriff and politicians. I have lived in small towns and the one who holds the purse strings runs the county. Small town or big city politicians are all bought off. Its time to clean house. Where are these mens grandson’s? Thanks for sharing inspiring video, Misty.
Full Movie.
