TJ posted a short summary about this in the SF. I did some more research and found a detailed account. I wonder what would happen if something like this happened today?

I live in Athens TN. My mother-in-law was a young girl and remembers living close enough to the downtown area that she heard some of the gunshots.

Some of the names that took part in those events of The Battle are still prominent names in town politics.

There are two very good books about The Battle of Athens, as well as a Hallmark Hall-of-Fame movie based on it.
