After the Revolution, Sevier declared the Overmountain Towns a separate state, which he named the State of Franklin. He was tried and convicted of Treason for this, but instead of going to jail he ran for State Legislature, won, and then passed a law pardoning himself of Treason. He went on to become the first governor of Tennessee, a 3-time U.S. congressman, and once very nearly fought a duel with Andrew Jackson.<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1594412551516_75296\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\">\n<div class=\"sqs-block-content\">\n<h2><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Overmountain Men &nbsp; If there was ever an inspirational story that was needed for this specific time in history it is this one!
