Cool Manning story if it's true

[Flipdaddy]

A friend of mine said that he heard there was a civil war battle right on the grounds of where Neyland stadium sits and the union battle leader was Captain Peyton Manning. You guys check it out. If true, pretty damn cool!

 

[Freak]

Huh?

 

[CountVolcula]

Not true

 

[CountVolcula]

Huh?

I heard that Sherman was a Vol fan and that is why he burned Georgia on his march to the sea

Our Peyton performed a lot better than the Confederate Peyton did in Knoxville.

Off-topic but it amazes my how many around here sympathize with the Confederacy when Knoxville (and E.TN in general) tried desperately to remain in the Union and wanted nothing to do with secession.

So your saying rocky top's and the post game write-up are wrong and your right?

There were a lot of Union sympathizers throughout TN, but I never heard of a city (Knoxville in this case) wanting to break off from TN and remain with the Union.

Also that really doesn't have any bearing on why people sympathize with the Confederacy today.

I will have to do more research before I believe that article

Just a little skeptical

 

[MFL]

Just the last name false..It was Peyton E Lee, General CSA

Union sympathizers were throughout the south, but heavily in East Tennessee. Self-serving, carpetbaggin' Union reconstructionists is what destroyed any possibility of a quick reconciliation.

The Southern Loyalist

He held the UT 'long ball' completion record from 1863 - 1925.

Lieutenant colonel Peyton t manning of Mississippi. Slightly wounded at chickamauga. Right hand man of Longstreet. Seems legit.

 

[biggestvols]

As the story goes Lt. Manning was not as popular as ole' Colonel Angus! He was quite the ladies man.

Manning is a vampire.

Manning is a vampire.

Tell him to watch out for Abe Lincoln.

Like west Virginia they really talked about creating a state of East Tennessee. Upper East Tennessee was especially union sympathetic.
