Tennessee
Tennessee was named after the great river that cuts through the state, although the meaning of the word 'Tennessee' is itself unknown. The territory played an important role in the nation's history even before statehood in 1796, and gained its nickname, The Volunteer State, from the large numbers of soldiers it sent to the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War. Today Tennessee is a prosperous state, with considerable industrial and agricultural potential. The state encompasses a variety of climates and vegetation, which mark the three traditional divisions of its territory into East, Middle, and West Tennessee.
