Yes, it is a trick question. The song claims that Crockett was "born on a mountain top in Tennessee."
In fact, he was actually born in the State of Franklin.
 
Where? The State of Franklin is one of the least-known bits of American history.
The State of Franklin was set up in 1784 out of the westerly portion of the colonial state of North Carolina. While government officials in "the State of Franklin" claimed that Franklin was a state in the newly-formed United States of America, Franklin was never officially admitted into the Union of the United States and existed for only four years. Davy Crockett was born in the territory during those four years.
 
Shortly after the War of Independence, the original colonies were asked to pay for the war efforts and create a country with a sound financial policy. Since the taxing the population was difficult and cash was in short supply, North Carolina ceded the western portion of the state to the federal government as its payment. Before the Congress could accept the offer, North Carolina withdrew the offer.
 
The citizens of the region decided that federal rule in the meantime was probably a good idea since North Carolina as a state had given this remote region little support in its fight with the Indians or protection from criminal refugees.
They saw other benefits as an independent state in terms of taxation, representation and an understanding attitude toward local problems. Representatives of the North Carolina counties of Sullivan, Washington, Greene, and Davidson accepted the offer of cessation to federal territory.
The "state" of Franklin existed for only four years and then merged with the new state of Tennessee.

Interesting question.
 
As to where the phrase ," All things in moderation" originates from ; the words (meden agan ) were inscribed on the temple of appolo at Delphi.
They mean , "Nothing in excess".
 
Some however, attribute the phrase to the Roman dramatist Publius Terentius Afer , written in the second century BC.
Others are still debating   
 
Far as I know, the word moderation is only used in,
Php 4:5.
 "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand."

In a way we assume that there were three wise men because of the three gifts that were given: gold, incense, and myrrh.
Mat 2:11  "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."   
  The Word does not say there were only three wise men. There could have been more.
Tradition says that there were three and that their names were Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar.
As the Word does not say, we don't know if this tradition is accurate.
 
However, they sought Jesus, recognized the worth of Jesus, humbled themselves to worship Jesus.
They obeyed God rather than man.
So they were truly wise men!

Gen 4:9  "And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?"    So the answer to your question is number three.   The events.    Gen 4:8  And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.  Gen 4:9  And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?  Gen 4:10  And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.  Gen 4:11  And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;  Gen 4:12  When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.  Gen 4:13  And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.  Gen 4:14  Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.  Gen 4:15  And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
