The Strategic position of Tennessee made it the key to any attempt by the Confederacy to wage war against the USA. In the final stages of the War,calvary sweeps that began in east tennesse crippled the Souths ability to wage war. The East Tennessee resistance to rebel rule prevented their being able to supply their troops in the field with the resources of our state. The Vote would never have turned out the way the Traitors claimed, they rigged the entire process, murdered political and religious leaders, used troops to intimidate voters. Prevented all opposition voters from reaching the polls in some middle Tennessee counties. Stole all records of the state returns and the returns of seven counties. Tennessee was a key prize for the Confederacy. They could not attempt to opperate here unless they had the ability to treat pro union forces as illegal combatants not subject to the rules of war.

We appreciate your concern. It is noted and stupid.

A grand total of two people give a crap about whether Tennessee supported the union or the confederacy.
I'm tired of seeing threads turn into little more than arguments about a *VOTE* during a war that happened a hundred fifty years ago.
Mountain Man, you are clearly not Flare material. If you're going to drone on and on, at least do it about something original. And for God's sake, learn how to press ENTER once in a while.
If you dare mention Tennessee again, your posting permissions are getting yanked, probably for good. Anyone that persists on the issue will get similar treatment.
This is the third topic I've ended up closing in the past month or so. That's an all-time record. Let's not try for four, eh?
