Twice now I have hiked the battlefield trail on King’s Mountain (as well as miles of other trails in that park) with my children, even though my children were grown when I did it. It’s always educational to remember what once was and what used to be. On Monday I hiked this trail with my beautiful daughter, Devon.
I have seen many homeschoolers on the trail with parents, reading literature and learning real American history, when men were free, rather than the fabricated crap and lies they learn in public schools that passes for history, taught by the collectivist lemmings. I have never seen a public school class there.
One placard in particular has always caught my attention.
This distinguished race of men are more savage than the Indians, and possess every one of their vices, but not one of their virtues. I have known … these fellows (to) travel 200 miles through the woods never keeping any road or path, guided by the sun by day, and the stars by night, to kill a particular person of the opposite party (George Hanger, British officer formerly attached to Ferguson’s provincial corps).
Would we win the war of independence today? Do such men exist, who would travel 200 miles through woods, day and night, to engage fellow countrymen in a battle for freedom?
