Students will also demonstrate an understanding of the concept of location by using terms that communicate relative location. They will also be able to show where locations are on a globe. Students will describe events in the past and in the present and begin to recognize that things change over time. They will understand that history describes events and people of other times and places. Students will be able to identify important holidays, symbols, and individuals associated with Tennessee and the United States and why they are significant. The classroom will serve as a model of society where decisions are made with a sense of individual responsibility and respect for the rules by which they live.

  • Secession in Tennessee, Hurst Nation, and the State of Scott
    Secession in Tennessee, Hurst Nation, and the State of Scott Essential Question: Why was Tennessee divided on the question of secession and how did that division affect Tennessee during the Civil War? As the turbulent 1850’s drew to a close, Tennesseans found themselves divided over the question of slavery. Fertile soil and flat land made large plantations possible in West Tennessee, so the population was almost universally pro-slavery. West Tennessee was tied to the Deep South states not only through their shared interest in cotton, but also in their dependence on the Mississippi River as a transportation route. By contrast, in East Tennessee where rocky soil and mountains made large scale farming difficult, there were few slaves and less interest in expanding slavery. In Middle Tennessee where slaves labored on tobacco plantations as well as smaller farms, the population’s views on slavery and its expansion west were more divided. The presidential election of 1860 was a turning point for the nation and for Tennessee. The Republicans nominated Abraham Lincoln who vowed not to interfere with slavery where it already existed, but also to stop slavery from spreading in the West. The Democratic Party could not decide on a candidate and split. Stephen Douglas, the Northern Democratic candidate, favored popular sovereignty. This policy allowed the question of slavery to be decided by voters in the territories.. The Southern Democratic candidate, John Breckinridge, campaigned in favor of supporting the Dred Scott decision which stated that Congress had no power to ban slavery in the territories. The compromise candidate from the new Constitutional Union Party was John Bell, a Tennessean, who campaigned in favor of keeping the Union and slavery as they were.

    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives Confederate Commissary General, Provisional Army of Tennessee (Knoxville), Ledger, 1861-1862; Journal of Eliza Rhea Anderson Fain, 1872-1875 COLLECTION SUMMARY Creator: Fain, Richard Gammon, 1811-1878 Fain, Eliza Rhea Anderson, 1816-1892 Inclusive Dates: 1861-1862; 1872-1875 Scope & Content: One-volume item contains two documents. The first is a Confederate States Commissary Department ledger kept at Knoxville, Tennessee, between October 1861 and June 1862. Major Richard Gammon Fain, Commissary General, Provisional Army of Tennessee, and other commissary employees made the entries. The second is a journal kept by Fain’s wife, Eliza, from 1872 to 1875; her entries are interspersed among the ledger entries. Each document will be described separately. The ledger is important to the study of the Civil War, particularly for those interested in the financial history of the Confederate effort. It also sheds light on the types of services and supplies needed by and available to the Confederate Army during the early years of the war. Eliza Fain’s journal provides information important to the study of Reconstruction-era Tennessee. She writes upon topics that may offer insight into social and religious history. Particular focus is given to the religious history and culture of the Presbyterian Church in Tennessee, family relationships, and life during the Reconstruction period. 1 Entries for the Commissary Department ledger are chronological and begin on October 14, 1861. They conclude on page 69 during June 1862. Richard Gammon Fain served as Commissary General during that the period. Different handwriting styles are included among the ledger entries.

  • Report to the U. S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2008
    Report to the U.S. Congress for the Year Ending December 31, 2008 Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage Created by the U.S. Congress to Preserve America’s Film Heritage April 10, 2009 Dr. James H. Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with The Library of Congress Sound Recording and Film Preservation Programs Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-336), I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2008 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. We present this Report with renewed purpose and responsibility. The NFPF awarded our first preservation grants in 1998, fueled by contributions from the entertainment industry. Since then, federal funding from the Library of Congress has redrawn the playing field and enabled 187 archives, libraries, and museums across 46 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to save historically significant films and share them with the public. These efforts have rescued 1,420 works that might otherwise have been lost—newsreels, documentaries, silent-era features, avant-garde films, home movies, industrials, and independent works. Films preserved through the NFPF are now used widely in education and reach audiences everywhere through exhibition, television, video, and the Internet. The renewal of our federal legislation, passed unanimously by both houses of Congress in 2008, celebrates these formative steps but also recognizes that there is still much to do. With the Library’s continued support, we will strengthen efforts in the months ahead and press in new directions to advance film preservation and broaden access.

    A Master Plan for the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area Prepared by the Center for Historic Preservation, Middle Tennessee State University October 2001 2 Table of Contents 1. Project Background 2. Public Participation 3. Partnerships within the Master Planning Process and with the Management Entity 4. Master Plan: Themes and Initial Projects 5. Appendices I. Compact for the Tennessee Civil War Heritage Area II. Copies of Returned Survey Forms from Public Meeting Participants III. Copies of Website Comments and Suggestions IV. Selected News and Feature Stories 3 I. Project Background and History In 1995 Congress invited proposals from across the United States for the National Heritage Areas program of the National Park Service. A total of forty-one states submitted proposals and eight were ultimately selected, including Tennessee’s application for a statewide Civil War Heritage Area prepared by the Middle Tennessee State University’s Center for Historic Preservation (CHP) with the assistance of Congressman Bart Gordon. On November 12, 1996, Congress passed Public Law 104-333, which authorized the creation of the Tennessee Civil War Heritage Area. Tennessee, thus, became part of a select group of regions across the country where a federal, state, local, and private partnership coordinate ways to preserve, interpret, and enhance valuable historical and cultural resources. The Tennessee Civil War Heritage Area is one of eighteen congressionally designated heritage areas across the country that represent stories, people, and places of national significance. The National Heritage Areas are: 1. Augusta Canal (Georgia) 2. Automobile Heritage (Michigan) 3. Blackstone River Valley Corridor (Massachusetts and Rhode Island) 4.
