(tennessee (i/tɛnᵻˈsiː/) (Cherokee: ᏔᎾᏏ, Tanasi) is a state located in the southeastern region of the ‘united states’)
(‘tennessee’ is the 36th largest and the 17th most populous of the 50 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 601,222)
(‘Memphis’ is the state’s largest city, with a population of 653,450)
(the state of ‘Tennessee’ is rooted in the ‘Watauga Association’, a 1772 frontier pact generally regarded as the first constitutional government west of the ‘Appalachians’)
(what is now ‘Tennessee’ was initially part of ‘North Carolina’, and later part of the ‘Southwest Territory’)
(‘Tennessee’ was admitted to the ‘Union’ as the 16th state on 1 june 1796)
(‘Tennessee’ was the last state to leave the Union and join the Confederacy at the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War in 1861)
(occupied by Union forces from 1862, it was the first state to be readmitted to the Union at the end of the war)
(‘tennessee’ furnished more soldiers for the ‘Confederate Army’ than any other state besides ‘Virginia’, and more soldiers for the ‘Union Army’ than the rest of the ‘Confederacy’ combined)
(beginning during ‘Reconstruction’, it had competitive party politics, but a Democratic takeover in the late 1880s resulted in passage of ‘disfranchisement laws’ that excluded most blacks and many poor whites from voting)
(this sharply reduced competition in politics in the state until after passage of civil rights legislation in the mid-20th century)
(in the 20th century, ‘Tennessee’ transitioned from an agrarian economy to a more diversified economy, aided by massive federal investment in the ‘Tennessee Valley Authority’ and, in the early 1940s, the city of ‘Oak Ridge’)
(this city was established to house the Manhattan Project’s uranium enrichment facilities, helping to build the world’s first atomic bomb, which was used during ‘World War II’)
(‘Tennessee’ has played a critical role in the development of many forms of American popular music, including ‘rock and roll’, ‘blues’, ‘country’, and ‘rockabilly’)
(‘Beale Street’ in Memphis is considered by many to be the ‘birthplace of the blues’, with musicians such as ‘W.C. Handy’ performing in its clubs as early as 1909)
(‘Memphis’ is also home to ‘Sun Records’, where musicians such as ‘Elvis Presley’, ‘Johnny Cash’, ‘Carl Perkins’, ‘Jerry Lee Lewis’, ‘Roy Orbison’, and ‘Charlie Rich’ began their recording careers, and where ‘rock and roll’ took shape in the 1950s)
(the 1927 Victor recording sessions in Bristol generally mark the beginning of the ‘country music’ genre and the rise of the ‘Grand Ole Opry’ in the 1930s helped make ‘Nashville’ the center of the country music recording industry)
(three brick-and-mortar museums recognize Tennessee’s role in nurturing various forms of popular music: the “Memphis Rock N’ Soul Museum”, the “Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum” in Nashville, and the “International Rock-A-Billy Museum” in Jackson)
(moreover, the “Rockabilly Hall of Fame”, an online site recognizing the development of rockabilly in which ‘Tennessee’ played a crucial role, is based in ‘Nashville’)
(tennessee’s major industries include ‘agriculture’, ‘manufacturing’, and ‘tourism’)
(‘poultry’, ‘soybeans’, and ‘cattle’ are the state’s primary agricultural products, and major manufacturing exports include ‘chemicals’, ‘transportation equipment’, and ‘electrical equipment’)
(the “Great Smoky Mountains National Park”, the nation’s most visited national park, is headquartered in the eastern part of the state, and a section of the “Appalachian Trail” roughly follows the “Tennessee-North Carolina” border)
(other major tourist attractions include the “Tennessee Aquarium” in Chattanooga; “Dollywood” in Pigeon Forge; “Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies” in Gatlinburg; the “Parthenon”, the “Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum”, and “Ryman Auditorium” in Nashville; the “Jack Daniel’s Distillery” in Lynchburg; and Elvis Presley’s “Graceland” residence and tomb, the “Memphis Zoo”, and the “national civil rights museum” in memphis)
