Rise of the Freemen

Rise of the Freemen

The FBI labeled them as domestic terrorists. They threatened to hang local sheriffs, attorneys and judges. They turned against their own friends and families. They wrote hundreds of millions of dollars in bad checks. How did a group of longtime Montana farmers and ranchers turn into a seething anti-government movement, intent on overthrowing the status quo and starting their own country?
