=Tennessee River?= |
|||
No, Crockett's businesses weren't destroyed because of a Tennessee River flood. Lawrenceburg is nowhere where the Tennessee River, which divides Tennessee well west of there then flows into Alabama before combing back into East Tennessee. Lawrenceburg is located on what is now called Shoal Creek and it was that creek that flooded and wiped out his business. |

Semi-protected edit request on 3 July 2015 (Crockett's name)
![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please Prove forensically that David Crockett had a middle name, and that this speculation is not just revisionist history just to sell books. Names commonly back then were all spelled out, like Polly Finely Crockett. John Wesley Crockett. David never ever signed his name with Stern! Show the birth records, or please remove the 'speculation and what if' revisionist history.

Done Removed. Thank you so much for catching this. This was an unsourced edit from December 2014 that no one else noticed. For any other editors, please discuss here if there are any disagreements about Crockett's name. — Maile (talk) 20:20, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
Congress
I assume people can't edit this because its about a well known historical person. More information about his Congressional service would be nice. I looked him up in Dr. Keith Poole's common-space NOMINATE scores where he's listed initially as a Jacksonian and later as an anti-Jacksonian, and scores at 1st Dimension (economic) 0.064, making him moderate-conservative economically. As well as .784 in the second dimension, which means he was pretty strongly aligned with the South regionally, which could represent pro-bimetallism or pro-slavery views.
In a modern-context, the 2nd dimension has largely broken down, so we typically only look at the 1st dimension for current members, but in Crockett's era, the 2nd dimension was a very important voting alignment. My guess is that Crockett's shift from Jacksonian to anti-Jacksonian reflects his opposition to the Indian Removal Act and Jackson's genocidal policies towards Native Americans.

Tennessee River?
No, Crockett's businesses weren't destroyed because of a Tennessee River flood. Lawrenceburg is nowhere where the Tennessee River, which divides Tennessee well west of there then flows into Alabama before combing back into East Tennessee. Lawrenceburg is located on what is now called Shoal Creek and it was that creek that flooded and wiped out his business. ~~
