Glenn Beck did a segment on his show yesterday regarding the Battle of Athens in 1946 which many people have never heard of - it reminded us about the made for TV movie some 15 years ago, and which did an excellent job of telling that story
The Battle of Athens (sometimes called the McMinn County War) was a rebellion led by citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the local government in August 1946.
The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of political corruption and voter intimidation.
