Joseph Hardin

Here is a fine article on the namesake of this account. He was a relatively unknown founder of the State of Tennessee. knoxtntoday.com/the-colonel-wh…

@Fawfulboy @WRAT79389441 @MargoinWNC Johnson’s reconstruction policies were more harsh and than Lincoln’s.

@WRAT79389441 @MargoinWNC The mean the administration that actually was sympathetic to the plight of the Confederacy?

She’s from Ohio. Not a North Carolina native.

@Fawfulboy @Ffsreally12 @MargoinWNC If they weren’t Americans, they couldn’t commit treason.

That’s your problem and that was their problem too. You considered those people “Americans.” No they weren’t. They were as American as George Washington was a British subject. They rebelled. They committed treason. They should have all been killed. What they did shouldn’t have ever been tolerated. What did we tolerate instead? Mass terrorism against black people. That’s unfortunately what our country was willing to tolerate. We should have tolerated the idea of executing every southerner.

@Fawfulboy @YorMomLovesme @The80921Deal @MargoinWNC Between 1877 and 1968, fewer than 5000 people were lynched in the entire country. That would have been a month’s worth of killings in the guerrilla war you long for.

We had that anyways. We had the Wilmington Insurrection which North Carolinians try to pretend doesn’t exist. Similar insurrections around the country. KKK terrorist attacks. Lynchings. Jim Crow laws. Police brutality. Radical far leftism. If the confederates were executed for treason as they should have the Democrat Party would cease to exist. Black people would have been given civil rights. White Supremacy wouldn’t have been able to get systemic power anymore. The South would have dominated by the GOP for over a century instead of the last 20 years. We wouldn’t have white Supremacists like Woodrow Wilson taking office so the evils of the Federal Reserve and FDR social security and entitlements would have never happened. Our country would be in a stronger position today. More united. Less racially divided. Potentially less corrupt.

@Fawfulboy @The80921Deal @MargoinWNC Anyone claiming we’d have fewer problems if a million people in the past were murdered doesn’t understand history.

@The80921Deal @MargoinWNC Perhaps you need teachers like me because you don’t have a general understanding of history.

@Fawfulboy @DoctorCopper @MargoinWNC So we can charge the Iranians with committing treason against the United States?

@DoctorCopper @MargoinWNC You need to go back to school. It is 100% treason.

@Fawfulboy @MargoinWNC Throughout history, the side that conducts a mass extermination of its enemies are not the good guys.

I’m also a social studies teacher from NC and she’s 100% right. The South didn’t receive the consequences that they should have for the Civil War. The confederates should have all been executed for treason. Instead we showed them mercy and they created the Klan which engaged in terrorism and eroded what progress the GOP made for black people. The Democrat Party eventually returned to a powerhouse when it should have been forcefully abolished after the Civil War. It was one of the greatest mistakes our country has ever done. And yes, so many people who live here are racist. Look what happened to Mark Robinson. Don’t pretend that it isn’t. I literally have Klan where I live. It’s disgusting.

@Fawfulboy @Scottsman1520 @MargoinWNC If secession had been legal, the north still wouldn’t have let them leave:

@Scottsman1520 @MargoinWNC Secession is illegal and treasonous so of course the North didn’t let them leave. But the South attacked first because they arrogantly claimed that federal military property belonged to them just because it was in their state.

@JessicaVaugn Good lord.

Good morning 🌞

@SprintPlanner I seem to remember something else being there in the late 90’s, but I can’t remember what.

@ColJosephHardin It was located where Popeye's Chicken sits present day on Jefferson!

Humble Oil Gas Station, Cookeville, Putnam County, Tennessee (1965)

@Bhess @bvkcitizen @Dr_TheHistories So he was like every other president between Washington and Grant?

@bvkcitizen @Dr_TheHistories He had peaceful Native Americans murdered and their lands taken away and he was a an awful bad person. and he was too stupid to understand paper money.

In an 1806 duel, Andrew Jackson (the 7th American president) knew he couldn't outdraw master marksman Charles Dickinson. His survival strategy was brutal: he deliberately let Dickinson shoot him first. Under the rules of dueling, once a man fired, he was required to stand motionless on his mark and await his opponent's return fire. If Jackson rushed his shot to beat Dickinson, he might miss. By absorbing the bullet, Jackson bought himself the time to aim with absolute precision. Dickinson fired. A cloud of dust puffed from Jackson’s coat as the bullet struck him squarely in the chest. But Jackson did not fall. He simply raised his left hand to his chest, stood perfectly still, and leveled his pistol. Jackson survived the immediate impact because of a wardrobe trick and his gaunt physique. Standing 6-foot-1 and weighing only about 145 pounds, Jackson wore a loose, oversized dark blue frock coat. When he took his mark, he turned sideways in a bladed stance. Dickinson aimed exactly where a man's heart should be based on the drape of the coat. The bullet hit the precise spot Dickinson intended, but Jackson's actual heart was an inch or two away. The ball shattered two ribs and lodged deep in his chest cavity. Despite the massive trauma, Jackson masked his pain through sheer willpower and spite. He despised Dickinson—who had publicly insulted his wife—and was determined not to give the marksman the satisfaction of knowing he had landed a successful shot before dying. Jackson later said, 'I should have hit him, if he had shot me through the brain.' Jackson pulled his trigger, but the pistol stopped at half-cock. He calmly pulled the hammer all the way back, took aim again, and shot Dickinson in the abdomen. Dickinson fell and bled to death hours later. Jackson casually walked away from the dueling ground with his surgeon, hiding his wound until they were out of sight of Dickinson's seconds. It was only when the surgeon noticed blood sloshing inside Jackson's left boot that he realized the future president had been hit. The bullet was too close to the heart to be safely removed, and Jackson carried it inside his chest for the remaining 39 years of his life. #drthehistories

@AleksanderLucy @__OnlyShallow It may not be, but it’s certainly the Johnson County national anthem.

@__OnlyShallow Ya'know, I Don't think Copperhead Road is actually an official state song.

On today, the 205th anniversary of the birth of the greatest cavalry officer this country has ever produced, Nathan Bedford Forrest, for a few minutes, I flew one of the last flags that flew over his statue in south Nashville before the statue was removed.

@Zoomer_South x.com/ColJosephHardi…

Putting the Southern Cross up in your yard will scare these invaders away from your area. Do yourself and your community a favor.

@1WesRebel x.com/ColJosephHardi…

This is the way, my Southland family & friends. If the enemy charges you …you charge them and make them pay! …just like Nathan Bedford Forrest taught us.

@BenSwolwalker @jjfThompson @BockBockBucock Govern themselves.

@jjfThompson @BockBockBucock Constitutional right to……

Black Confederates WERE a real thing, they ARE a real thing and they will CONTINUE TO BE a real thing. Jefferson Davis decided that Southern autonomy was more important than racial animus, as did Robert E. Lee. There's no man alive today who's opinion I would value more than these. If you think the Confederate Flag doesnt honor blacks, you have been deliberately misinformed.

@BenSwolwalker @BockBockBucock Someone that dehumanizes the political opposition by comparing them to fly larvae needs to STFU about how others treat people.

@BockBockBucock The civil war was fought over states rights to…. The right to own people and treat them as property.

@GenSwFxMarion @seanmdav Maybe it is. I don’t know.

@ColJosephHardin @seanmdav Cologuard is a scam.

Get your hearts checked, folks. Especially if you’re over 40. Throw in a colonoscopy while you’re at it. Don’t be stupid and die from a disease that’s preventable and treatable if you catch it in time. If you’re overweight, now is the perfect time to get healthy. If you’re sedentary, now is the perfect time to get active. If you’re an addict, now is the perfect time to get clean. And if you’re aimless and feel like something is missing in your life, now is the perfect time to accept Christ.

@DaretothInc @seanmdav LMAO!

@ColJosephHardin @seanmdav God Bless the FedEx drivers.
