#WildGooseFestival @WildGooseFest peeps: Did you know that the region of NC/TN where we meet was pre-Civil War one of America's abolitionist hotspots? When the South seceded, they had to send Confederate troops to occupy the area to control the residents.
The Quakers who settled in nearby Greeneville published the nation's first abolitionist newspaper.
Most local politicians in the region also opposed the policy of Indian Removal of the US government.
