Tennessee is a state
located in the Southeastern United
States. Tennessee is bordered by Kentucky
and Virginia
to the north, North Carolina to the east, Georgia, Alabama,
and Mississippi
to the south, and Arkansas and Missouri
to the west. The Appalachian Mountains
dominate the eastern part of the state, and the Mississippi River forms the
state's western border. Tennessee's capital and second largest city is Nashville, which has a
population of 626,144.[4] Memphis is the state's
largest city, with a population of 670,902. Tennessee
entered the Union on June 1, 1796, as the 16th state. Although it seceded at
the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861, eastern Tennessee remained
loyal to the Union. This border character reflects a deep-rooted difference
between the upland and lowland areas. The east, with its rugged terrain
covered with dense forest and brush, was settled mainly by independent yeoman
farmers. It remained largely isolated from the outside world until the early
20th century. In contrast, the west, where cotton plantations once flourished,
was linked with other regions through the Mississippi River. Central
Tennessee, with its rolling inner core, had good transportation connections
with other regions and developed a more diversified economy than that in the
east. |
