OK, just for kicks, let's have a little contest. The first person to answer the questions below will receive a new copy of The ACLU vs. America, the recently released book by Craig Osten and Alan Sears. I have yet to read the book (I have another copy and will be examining it soon), but it has received good reviews from the likes of Agape Press. In any case, the questions are related to Tennessee history, with a specific focus on the State of Franklin. Answers can be left in the comments section.

3) Which of the following occupations was exempt from serving as an officeholder of the State of Franklin?
a) a doctor
b) a farmer
c) a clergyman

g) All of the above

4) Who led the resistance to Franklin's autonomy and eventually captured Franklin's governor, holding him for trial?

5) Which East Tennessee city has the only monument in the United States dedicated to both the Confederate and Union armies?

6) What city served as Tennessee's capital for exactly one day, September 21, 1807?
