'''The Battle of Athens''' (2 August1946) was a literal battle that took place in Athens, McMinn County, [[Tennessee]]. Several returning [[United States|U.S.]] veterans laid siege to the county jail, after a corrupt [[sheriff]] had seized two [[ballot]] boxes to try to rig an [[election]]. The veterans took the jail using small arms and explosives. As such this is the most recent recorded instance of an armed insurrection against a [[government]] on American soil. It also demonstrated the importance of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in preserving American liberty.
