🇺🇸 The Overmountain Men & Battle of Kings Mountain 🇺🇸

[@sunflowerhopefully7395]

America’s fighting men are the spine and heart of this country.

[@carolynbalderson9119]

28:22 Absolutely a Beautiful story of our past which should never be forgotten

Thank you, Thomas Batchelor, Steve Ricker, and the Overmountain Victory Trail Association.

[@ArleneMilesKetron]

I spent most of my day Sunday reading The Overmountain Men by Pat Alderman. I didn't turn the TV on that day. I know the story, but I had not read that book. Today I turned on your channel, and I found this story. I'm guessing our ancestors made that trip to Kings Mountain together. Knowing your history is important, because the sacrifices made for us should not be forgotten or taken for granted.

[@suzie2080]

This was better than any text book. I am so thankful people are sharing the story.

[@erinapplegate2767]

Thank you for sharing this! I’m so glad I got to hear these wonderful men and about those patriots ❤

[@randidean7424]

Well, so far today I've listened to this twice and I expect I'll listen to it several more times. Thanks to all responsible for the presentation and thanks Patara for sharing it with us. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@MrsPaulaReed]

I wish the last few generations understood how valuable the God-given right of liberty is. Thank you, Patara, for posting this and keeping the story alive!

[@esthersdaughterlong8149]

Thank you Patara. I loved this story of our great Mountain Men.

[@sunsetheritage]

The way these gentlemen tell the story, makes me feel like I was right there beside them. I can see everything in my mind. God willing we won’t actually see this coming again in our lifetime 🙏🧡 Lorie 😊

[@tammypoling9618]

We need these kind of men today

[@AlleyCat-1]

We still have them. They are our veteran's.

[@cmike22000]

@@AlleyCat-1 And a lot of us non veterans

[@AlleyCat-1]

@cmike22000 yep. There's of us like that too.

[@countrygirl23]

So important we hear and know our Country's History! Truly admire the fighting Mountain Men of the South! This history of the Southern Mountain Men is well explained and understood through this video. Thank you, Patera! My husband & I have many War movies. Need to add this one to our collection. 👍

[@Mawmaw130]

Doesn't your heart burn within you while listening to this? Thanks Patara for helping to keep this true story alive. It's so sad most of our young people are clueless.

[@lindaknox6623]

Thank you, Patera. Sadly our educational system is so inadequate. Thiis is only the second time in just a couple of weeks I learned about the invaluable involvement of the brave men in the South and their quickly organized volunteer forces being instrumental in winning the Revolutionary War. The first was in the book "George Washington, Spymaster by Thomas B. Allen, and now, in much more detail, today from the lips of two wonderful reenactors. The way things are now in our country, it's clear our 2nd amendment is more important than ever.

[@angiemclain4411]

This is so good!! I love historical story telling. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@beckyphipps9206]

And the moral of this story is..... if you threaten the homes and families of these type of people, Patriots and Christians and farmers and hunters...... it may be the last thing you do on earth.

I absolutely love this! THANK YOU!

What a treat 😊. Thank you for the history lesson!

[@rjay7019]

Good morning Patera 😊 Thank You for the History ❤ My 7X Great Grandfather was Captain John Adams Files of the SC Militia. His remains were buried in Shoals Junction SC. He was killed by the Tories. Originally from Virginia. R.I.P. died May 1781

[@patriciagamble8867]

Thank you so very much for posting. Praying for the American Patriots and those who seek justice and righteousness. To GOD be all the GLORY. Keep standing Patara we are with you. GOD BLESS you and your family and keep you all safe.

[@gwenfoskey3234]

Thanks for sharing this. It needs to be taught in K -12.

[@AmyLouiseDens]

That's why parents and grandparents are the BEST teachers! Don't leave teaching to anyone else

[@LynnDavisHathaway]

Absolutely!!

[@heatherbray7713]

I don’t think there are men like this in our country anymore. These were strong, loyal patriots.

[@utubegeneric]

One of my ancestors (Phillip "buckspsike" Williams) fought on kings mountain. I really appreciate this guy mentioning that it's one of the least known battles because it didn't include the Continental Army. But, it was the militia who did this.

[@ummm8511]

Fired me up ❤. I, too, have never heard this piece of history. I love my country and am proud of every patriotic citizen, those who understand the sacrifices made for this amazing country. thank-you Patara ❤

[@forrestgump9576]

With all the garbage coming out of Hollywood, this story would be a movie I'd pay to see. Thank you and God bless y'all for keeping the legacy of the Overmountain Men alive!

[@Kyu7]

I’d LOVE to see more movies of real events made. No embellishments. Just the true story of how things went down.

[@dennissatink3931]

I will be the man standing behind you!

[@lastboyscout-5511]

History is SO important... We have "Local History Dinners" in Foscoe NC (close to Boone) the 4th Friday of each month. Our June 28th dinner is about the Overmountain Men.

[@donnamullins2089]

Thank you Patara. We must keep these stories alive for our children. (The education system does not want to teach actual history) Many thanks to the story tellers.

[@erinapplegate2767]

Amazing what they endured ❤ God bless you guys for keeping the story alive!

[@swlc5555]

I'm not surprised to see so many posts from people whose ancestors fought at Kings Mountain and other places during the American Revolution. People who know about their past and the struggles their ancestors passed through have a special appreciation for this great country we inherited. It's not difficult to understand why so many of us are disgusted by the worldwide movement to destroy pride in our nation and its history. And to replace the freedom our ancestors sacrificed for with a government that wants to oppress and micro-manage every part of our life.

[@shirleytaylor5007]

Exactly !!!

[@MacMeadowsFarm]

Thank you, Patara, for keeping the stories alive. I listened to this while driving and just knew I had to play it again for my kids. I now have 2 of my oldest who want to know more about Kings Mountain, and it has become a spontaneous history research lesson. I can think of no better way for us to end our homeschooling year. Thank you again for helping us all learn more about this little known victory and the brave men, boys, husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, and their families who risked it all for freedom. ❤

[@DamonDennis]

My great great grandfather was one of those men , Col, Samuel Wear

[@renasegar6020]

Miss Patara, I want to say how much I appreciate you sharing that most important piece of history with me. It literally brought tears to these old eyes. I honestly believe it is going to take that kind of tenacity and bravery to take our beloved country back. Here is my question. Do we have what it takes, are there men and women able to withstand that challenge? God save our country.

[@debbiesmithwick8221]

Alot of us do. Sadly not all.

[@TEXAN42]

If people was to take history to heart we would not be in this mess we are in today..... Love the story

[@factsmatter4030]

yes... we were always there to stand against wrong in righteous anger. Millions of innocent beautiful babies are counting on us to protect them and we will.

[@joelburt4340]

Thank you so much for this patara I love history like this! We true Americans understand the value of our history and the importance of keeping it alive and not tearing it down and forgetting it. I love this channel and what your doing. Keep it up.

[@mathnchocolate]

Nothing better than a living history presentation to teach others about history. History comes to life before our eyes. God bless the history tellers. May our children learn of our ancestors past and keep the history alive. We cannot let others erase or destroy it.😊🙌🙏💜

My 4X great grandfather, Capt. John Starnes from Charlotte area, was on the mountain that day. So proud !!! 🎖 💓 🎖

[@wendyneal4900]

I have traced my roots back to VA, TN, and NC. Even though I grew up in the Rocky Mountains, I knew there was a reason why I always loved this area of the country and so have lived here for the last 28 years. I feel very much at home here in Tennessee. I also love American history, and the south has a ton of it to offer. I don’t have the accent, but I have the heart. Love ya, Patera!❤

[@tommycoe1043]

They came through my hometown of Adamsville, NC (Now Jonesville,) and men from there joined with all the others to journey to Kings Mountian. I now live about 25 minutes from Elizabethton, TN high up in the mountians, on land my wife's ancestors settled in the early 1700s. They were Scotts/Irish, from one of the clans that fought against the English. The McIntosh Clan.

[@nancylang4294]

So profound. I am of Scottish/British descent. Some ancestors immigrated to Canada, others to the US. I have an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War, last name Rust. I am doing my research now to learn more. I just find it heartbreaking that over and over again we fight for freedom and yes often against our ancestors. Thanks Patera for this. From Quebec, Canada

[@ronwinkles2601]

My ancestor William Lawson (The Scottish Rebel) participated in this Battle. He was from the Dan River area of current Patrick Co., VA near Peters Creek.

Good Sunday morning 😊 Thank you so much for this!

[@fullofhope2222]

☘My ancestors go back to William Wallace' mother. (Braveheart) - we fought the English. Many of us came to Ireland, starved by the English landlords who sold our potatoes for huge profit. @1800 my great grandmother saved to send many of her 8 children to Virginia or Canada to escape to a better world, a better a life under A CONSTITUTION of The Republic. ☘ NEVER FORGET THE DESTITUTE, THE POOR WHO MADE THAT DANGEROUS JOURNEY TO JOIN BROTHERS IN ARMS. - MAKE THE CONSTITUTION GREAT AGAIN

Thank you so much for sharing this part of history with us! I am not sure why, but I had tears streaming down my cheeks.

Keep going! Love you, Patara. Thank you again.
