Limestone TN , birthplace of Davy Crockett 

the bondage many of us feel today may be more entwined, larger and a more condenseed version of what Crockett wrote about...  he was killed with his weapons and violence at hand at the Alamo fighting Mexican forces that were trying to capture back their lands... this is the self perpetuating nature of warring and fear based moralities... there is resolution beyond fate when we choose to embrace each other and our selves with a mythology of cooperating toward accepting peaceful functioning among all selves, tribes and cosmologies...

In this letter, written in December 1834, Davy Crockett complains about President Andrew Jackson’s forced removal of the Cherokees from their homes to Oklahoma. Crockett opposed that policy and feared Vice President Martin Van Buren would continue it, if elected president. He even goes so far as to say that if Van Buren is elected, Crockett would leave the United States for the “wildes of Texas.” Crockett writes, “I will consider that government a Paridice to what this will be. In fact at this time our Republican Government has dwindled almost into insignificancy our [boasted] land of liberty have almost Bowed to the yoke of [sic] Bondage.” Crockett actually went to Texas before Martin Van Buren was elected president, and he died in the Battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836, months before the election. 

Excerpt from the letter; 

"I have almost given up the Ship as lost. I have gone So far as to declare that if he Martin vanBuren is elected that I will leave the united States for I never will live under his kingdom. before I will Submit to his Government I will go to the wildes of Texas. I will consider that government a Paridice to what this will be. In fact at this time our Republican Government has dwindled almost into insignificancy our [boasted] land of liberty have almost Bowed to the yoke of Bondage. Our happy days of Republican principles are near at an end when a few is to transfer the many."...
