Most people
think that Tennessee is a less than average state with no really interesting history, but they are very wrong.Tennessee has
been a very important part of American history, but in the last few years Tennessee histiry has been taught less and less
until all there is a a thing or two here and a little bit here but no major source of information. That is what this site
is for, keeping Tennessee history available for those who want it.
First we'll talk about a few of the major things in Tennessee.
The University
of Tennessee Football Team, the Vols, short for Volunteers, is named for an old nickname of Tennessee, after William
Blount called thousands of Tennesseans in an all volunteer army. Another important happening in Tennessee was the first CokeTM bottling plant located across the street from the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, and is
now used for office space. Next is the first KrystalTM restaurant, and the Krystal tower still stands
in downtown Chattanooga.
