He lived in this sponsored and developed by the Center for Historic historic structure, originally the home of U.S. territorial Preservation, Middle Tennessee State University, Mur- freesboro Two hundred years ago, an international war raged across the United States of America. Thousands of American soldiers died in the conflict; the nation’s capital city was invaded, leaving both the White House and the U.S. Capitol in near ruins. An American invasion of Canada ended in failure. Defeat appeared to be certain—leaving the nation’s future in doubt—but down on the southern frontier Tennesseans fought and won major battles that turned the tide and made the reputation of a future U.S. president, Andrew Jackson. This conflict between the United States, Great Britain, governor William Blount (Willie’s older half-brother), Canada, and a score of sovereign Indian nations was called throughout the war. In 1813, Governor Blount raised the War of 1812 because the United States declared war over $37,000 and 2,000 volunteer soldiers to fight the on England in June of that year.

  • Historical Narrative
    Historical Narrative: “Historically, there were two, possibly three, Natchez Traces, each one having a different origin and purpose...” – Dawson Phelps, author of the Natchez Trace: Indian Trail to Parkway. Trail: A trail is a marked or beaten path, as through woods or wildness; an overland route. The Natchez Trace has had many names throughout its history: Chickasaw Trace, Choctaw-Chickasaw Trail, Path to the Choctaw Nation, Natchez Road, Nashville Road, and the most well known, the Natchez Trace. No matter what its name, it was developed out of the deep forests of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, from animal paths and well-worn American Indian footpaths. With American ownership of the Mississippi Territory, an overland route linking the area to the growing country was desperately needed for communication, trade, prosperity and defense from the Spanish and English, who were neighbors on the southwestern frontier. While river travel was desirable, a direct land route to civilization was needed from Natchez in order to bring in military troops to guard the frontier, to take things downriver that were too precious to place on a boat, to return soldiers or boatmen back to the interior of the U.S., and for mail delivery and communication. The improvement of the Natchez Trace began over the issue of mail delivery. In 1798, Governor Winthrop Sargent of the Mississippi Territory asked that “blockhouses” be created along American Indian trails to serve was stops for mail carriers and travelers since it took so long to deliver the mail or travel to Natchez. In fact, a letter from Washington D.C.

  • The Devil's Backbone: Race, Space, and Nation-Building on the Natchez
    The Devil’s Backbone: Race, Space, and Nation-Building on the Natchez Trace A thesis, submitted by Mary Kathryn Menck In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of the Arts In History and Museum Studies Tufts University May 2017 Adviser: Kendra Field i ABSTRACT Beginning in Nashville, Tennessee and terminating 444 miles south in Natchez, Mississippi, the Natchez Trace began its existence as a Choctaw and Chickasaw footpath. As white settlers poured into modern-day Mississippi in the late 18 th and early 19 th centuries, the United States sought inroads into these vital American Indian lands for new settlements, mail routes, and other aspects of “civilization”. With them, these settlers—and oftentimes, slave-traders—brought enslaved, black men and women to Mississippi. It was this movement which instigated the Trace’s transformation from “pathway” to “road”, and signaled its importance as contested territory. Conflicts of race, land commodification, commerce, and slavery played out in the interactions along its length. Through studying the Natchez Trace as an aspect of early American nation building, it is possible to isolate its role in the triangulation of wealth, race, and expansion which would become indicative of the wider patterns of the formation of early America. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In writing this thesis, I relied upon the aid and good will of numerous academics and archivists without whom I would have been unable to complete my work. In particular, Christina Smith at the Natchez Trace Parkway Archives in Tupelo provided significant research assistance, as well as fantastic suggestions for my visit to Mississippi.
