MAIN Arrow to Travel Travel Arrow to North America North America Arrow to North America USA Arrow to Tennessee Tourist Attractions Tennessee

Tennesse mapInterestingly, Tennessee could be said to have experienced double Revolutionary Wars when, following the American Revolution, it separated from North Carolina in 1784.

Once part of that state government, Tennessians revolted for lack of proper legislative representation and formed their own state named "Franklin" for patriot Ben Franklin.

Tensions were finally eased, and the state government disbanded, when the region was allowed to send representatives to the North Carolina legislature. A decade later, Congress redrew some of the territory south of the Ohio River - when Tennessee forever became an entity separate from North Carolina. It finally joined the Union in 1796.

Like a number of Southern states, Tennessee was split in its loyalties during the Civil War but joined the Confederacy and was the scene of extensive and decisive battles including those at Shiloh and Nashville.

Today, tther historical points of interest include the boyhood home of frontier explorer Davy Crockett, and the Andrew Jackson home near Nashville, as well as incredibly scenic travel and recreation at Great Smoky Mountains National Park,

Major spots for summer fun vacations include the amusement park at Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, first-rate country music shows at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, family fun at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, and Elvis Presley's Graceland Mansion in Memphis.
