Cool story. Too bad history shows it's not true.

My family owned this land since before it was a state. So one day, my ancestor, a farmer, is on his land and a government agent shows up. The exchange went something like this.

Agent: Hey, there. We're starting a new state.
Farmer: That's great to hear! I'm a good neighbor and I look forward to trading with you. Good luck!
Agent: No, you don't understand. You're part of this state now and you have to pay taxes.
Farmer: What?! I didn't agree to this! This is armed robbery! You're no better than a thief!
Agent: Well, you can always move.
Farmer: Move?! I've owned this land for generations. Why should I move? This is my land.
Agent: Not anymore.

Right, so now I'm the thief? Because some farmer couldn't stand up to an entire army?

Like I said, cool story. Too bad it's not based in reality.
