Tennessee in the Civil War

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how Tennessee played an important role in determining the outcome of the Civil War and how the battles fought there had a major impact on the Confederate army and led the way to its eventual destruction. It looks at how there were a number of important battles fought in Tennessee, including the Battle of Shiloh and the Battle of Chickamauga, and how the Union was able to win the war in Tennessee by joining the national army forces and maintaining its supply shipments, despite the efforts of the Confederates to starve them on Lookout Mountain.

From the Paper:

"When the United States was first formed during the American Revolution, the North and South worked together to built the nation and adopt the Constitution. Over the years, sectionalism developed and increased, due to the South's agricultural industry which was dependent on plantations and slavery, and the North's expanding industrial areas and being more commercially advanced. The Missouri Compromise was established in 1820 as a means to end the hostility, but was unsuccessful as tension between the two sides built over "the extension or prohibition of slavery in the West, difficulties over the tariff, troubles of internal improvements and territorial issues (unknown, civil war).""
