This research is dedicated to my dad, who left me no choice but to love history. Dad, no more games of stump the chump, ok? ii!! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my parents and the rest of my family for their continued love and support throughout my education and my life. My husband Jarrod has been steadfast in his encouragement to me throughout this long process, and I could not be more grateful to him. I would also like to thank Dr. Mark Cheathem for giving me the privilege of reading his forthcoming manuscript and allowing me to incorporate it in my thesis, as well as his input. Stewart Southard and Dr. Tom Kanon were invaluable to me in freely giving their constant guidance. I would like to thank Dr. Rebecca Conard and Dr. Mary Hoffschwelle for their continued support and assistance. Finally, I would like to thank the staff of the Tennessee State Library & Archives. The benefit of their institutional knowledge was priceless for the foundation of this thesis, as there are no written histories concerning the guardianship process in early Tennessee. iii! ! ABSTRACT Andrew Jackson has been widely studied through many lenses of history. However, the lens of kinship has not been widely incorporated. -
21 Tennessee Statehood
Tennessee Statehood Table of Contents Pages 1. Content Essay 2-4 2. Student Activity 5-6 3. Primary Source: Sevier’s Address 7-8 4. Primary Source: Blount letter to Sevier 9 1 Tennessee Statehood Essential Question: What role did William Blount play in Tennessee statehood? The establishment of the Southwest Territory in 1789 was the first step towards statehood for Tennessee and created opportunities for many land speculators including John Sevier and William Blount. Blount came from an influential North Carolina family and served as one of North Carolina’s delegates to the Constitutional Convention. Blount did not actively participate in the convention, but he did attend the sessions and signed the new U.S. Constitution.1 It was during this time that Blount came to the attention of George Washington. When North Carolina ceded its western lands to the federal government in 1789, Washington appointed Blount governor of the new territory. The Southwest Territory comprised all of present day Tennessee and stretched from the crest of the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River. From Blount’s perspective it was an ideal assignment. By this time he had acquired a million acres of western land, and it is likely that through partnerships he controlled much more. Blount arrived in the territory in October 1790. He lived first in upper east Tennessee at Rocky Mount.2 One aspect of Blount’s job as governor was to resolve disputes with the Cherokee. In June 1791, Blount called the Cherokee to a treaty at White’s Fort on the Holston River, in present-day Knoxville. -
