    “THE REBELLION’S REBELLIOUS LITTLE BROTHER”: THE MARTIAL, DIPLOMATIC, POLITICAL, AND PERSONAL STRUGGLES OF JOHN SEVIER, FIRST GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE A thesis presented to the faculty of the Graduate School of Western Carolina University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in History. By Meghan Nichole Essington Director: Dr. Honor Sachs Assistant Professor of History History Department Committee Members: Dr. Andrew Denson, History Dr. Alex Macaulay, History April 2014 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There are many people who have helped me in making this thesis a reality. It is impossible to name every individual who impacted the successful completion of this study. I must mention Dr. Kurt Piehler, who sparked my interest in Tennessee’s first governor during my last year of undergraduate study at the University of Tennessee. Dr. Piehler encouraged me to research what historians have written about John Sevier. What I found was a man whose history had largely been ignored and forgotten. Without this initial inquiry, it is likely that I would have picked a very different topic to study. I am greatly indebted to Dr. Piehler. While an undergraduate in the history program at UTK I met a number of exceptional historians who inspired and encouraged me to go to graduate school. Dr. Bob Hutton, Dr. Stephen Ash, and Dr. Nancy Schurr taught me to work harder, write better, and never give up on my dream. They have remained mentors to me throughout my graduate career, and their professional support and friendship is precious to me. Also, while at UTK, I met a number of people who have continued to be influential and incredible friends.

    CHAPTER VII. T HE News of the Bombardment of Fort Sumter, In

    CHAPTER VII. MILITARY HISTORY (Concluded). The Civil War.-The Election of Lincoln and the Fall of Sumter.-The first Call for Three-Months’ Men.-Response from the Cape Towns.-War Meetings.-Subsequent Calls.-Bounties.-Enlistments.-Return of the Volunteers.-G. A. R. Posts.-Mon- uments. HE news of the bombardment of Fort Sumter, in April, 1861, T greatly affected and changed the feelings of the political parties of the Cape; and when the surrender of the fort by Major Anderson, on the 13th, was announced, the feeling was almost unani- mous in favor of crushing the rebellion, the method remaining the only party question. Of the citizens of the Cape large numbers were engaged in various pursuits on the sea; but those at home recognized the issue as inevitable and were at once determined in their action. On the morning of Monday, April 15th, appeared the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, calling for seventy-five thousand men for three months, to suppress the rebellion. Its effect was like an electric spark in quickening the resolution and action of the men of this county. The president’s estimate was short of the necessities of the movement, as the history of the war abundantly proved; but to his calm and judi- cious patriotism a grateful nation has erected enduring monuments of granite, and engraved his deeds upon lasting pages of history. The first official act of this Commonwealth relating to the war was the recommendation by Governor Andrew, in January, 1861, that the adjutant general ascertain with accuracy the number of officers and men of the volunteer militia of the state who would instantly respond to any call of the president of the United States for troops.

Fortunately, much of its rich history has been preserved by a few biblical "Ebenezers" of our past. Miss Susie Gentry heads the list as Franklin's premier historian and patriot. Through her efforts historical sites were preserved and markers placed to honor our past. So it is that the 1991-92 JOURNAL is dedicated to honor Miss Susie Gentry's good works. The articles presented in this issue had been kept for forty-seven years as Miss Susie left them in two cardboard boxes. After Miss Susie's death in 1944, Mr. Luther McCall , her friend and administrator, gave the material to Dr. Rosalie Carter for safekeeping. Dr. Carter, real izing the importance■of Miss Gentry's writings and the twilight of her own stewardship, offered them to me for publ ication in the Wil l iamson County Historical Society's JOURNAL. ^ I gladly accepted the two boxes and immediately commenced reading and selecting the articles appropriate for our publication. The articles are presented as written by Miss Susie.
