Journey back to America's fight for independence as we sit down with David Carr from the Sons of the American Revolution at the Tennessee Council of Social Studies conference in Gatlinburg. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of a revolution far more complex—and personal—than most history books suggest.
David reveals how the Revolutionary War in the South functioned essentially as a Civil War, with Patriot and Loyalist neighbors literally taking up arms against each other. One haunting account describes a Patriot who, after the Battle of Kings Mountain, discovered he had killed his own neighbor during the fighting. These aren't just historical footnotes—they're powerful reminders of how deeply divided communities became during America's birth.
