After the Federal Troops were removed in the 1870's the Klan helped a Tennessee Land and Lumber Company run all of the "UNION LOYALISTS" off their property.

They say the term "Red Neck" came from them being so mean they could care less who knew who they were and they wore Red Bandannas just to keep from shooting each other.

Several families moved together to get away form them and never mentioned the facts above to their descendants.
