The American way of life is the biggest threat to the American way of life.
We act as if we believe that we own and run the world. Careless, wasteful, more than a little bit cocky and self-centered — these traits have defined Americans and our way of life for several generations. It is time for us to become more thoughtful, careful stewards of our natural resources, and more respectful of those other nations with whom we share the earth. If we fail to adjust our attitude, it will become literally impossible for future Americans to enjoy anything like the lifestyle the baby boomers, their parents, and subsequent generations have enjoyed.
Tennessee
The State of Franklin was an unrecognized and autonomous territory which is located now in Tennessee. Franklin was created in 1784 from parts of the Appalachian Mountains that were offered to North Carolina as a cession to Congress to pay off debts from Revolutionary War. It later became the state of Tennessee.
