  • Civil War Battles in Tennessee

    Civil War Battles in Tennessee

    Civil War Battles in Tennessee Lesson plans for primary sources at the Tennessee State Library & Archives Author: Rebecca Byrd, New Center Elementary Grade Level: 5th grade Date Created: May 2018 Visit http://sos.tn.gov/tsla/education for additional lesson plans. Civil War Battles in Tennessee Introduction: Tennessee’s Civil War experience was unique. Tennessee was the last state to se- cede and the first to rejoin the Union. Middle and West Tennessee supported secession by and large, but the majority of East Tennessee opposed secession. Ironically, Middle and West Tennessee came under Union control early in the war, while East Tennessee remained in Confederate hands. Tennessee is second only to Virginia in number of battles fought in the state. In this lesson, students will explore the economic and emotional effects of the war on the citizens of Tennessee. Guiding Questions How can context clues help determine an author’s point of view? How did Civil War battles affect the short term and long term ability of Tennesseans to earn a living? How did Civil War battles affect the emotions of Tennesseans? Learning Objectives The learner will analyze primary source documents to determine whether the creator/author supported the Union or Confederacy. The learner will make inferences to determine the long term and short term economic effects of Civil War battles on the people of Tennessee. The learner will make inferences to determine the emotional affect the Civil War had on Tennesseans. 1 Curriculum Standards: SSP.02 Critically examine

    TENNESSEE CIVIL AND MILITARY COMMISSIONS 1796-1976 RECORD GROUP 195 Processed by: Ted Guillaum Archival Technical Services Date Completed: 2-28-2002 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION Record Group 195, Tennessee Civil and Military Commissions, 1796-1976, contains the records of the commissions made by the governors of Tennessee. The commissions measure seven and ½ cubic feet and are recorded in 56 volumes. These records were maintained by the Secretary of State and were found to be in fair to good condition. Many of the earlier volumes required light cleaning of accumulated soot. Fifteen volumes were found to be in fragile condition and were placed in acid free boxes for their protection. Portions of these records were received from the Records Center at various times between 1973 and 1994. There are no restrictions on the use of these records. The volumes have been arranged chronologically and have been microfilmed. The original documents have been retained. SCOPE AND CONTENT Tennessee Civil and Military Commissions, 1796-1976, record the appointments by the governors of Tennessee to various positions of authority in the state. Tennessee's chief executive used commissions to confer positions of military and civil authority on various individuals. These records were kept and maintained by the Secretary of State. The commissions found in these volumes can include Military Officer, Judge, Attorney, Sheriff, Coroner, Justice of the Peace, Surveyor, Road Commissioner, Turnpike Operators, Attorney General, Solicitor General, Electors for President and Vice- President, Indian Treaty Delegates, State Boundary Line Dispute Delegates, Trustees to the Lunatic Asylum and Institution for the Blind, Inspectors of Tobacco and the Penitentiary, State Agricultural Bureau, Assayer, Superintendent of Weights and Measurers, Geologist & Mineralogist, Railroad Directors, and Bonding Regulators.

David Pitts Dept. of Biology, Univ, of Tennessee at Martin Martin, Tennessee 38238 During the early 1970's a new heron and egret colony was established at ReeIfoot Lake (Pitk 1982). However, the few recent accounts (Ford 1985; Pullin 19110-1987; Waldron 1988) of this colony have dealt only with limited aspects (e.g., Anhinga (A~hinpaanhir~gn) nests). The purposes of this study were to determine (1) the size of the area occupied by the colony, (2) the approximate number of nests in the colony, (3j the species composition of the colony, and (4j the perimeter of the colony. This information could be useful for future researchers who study thecolony and its effects on the Reelfoot Lake area. METHODS AND STUDY AREA The heron and egret colony is located in the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's (TWRA) Reel foot Wildlife Management Area (RWMA) on Little Ronaldson Slough, west of Reelfoot Lake, in LakeCounty, Tennessee. The northeast edgeof the colony borders the west end of Little Ronaldson Slough (latitude 36" 24' 06"; longitude 89"25'3OU)(Figure 1). About 95% of the trees within the colony are bald cypress (Tamdium distichurn), few of which are less than 15 cm diameter at breast height (=DBH).

KNIGHT 804 North Hills Drive Johnson City, TN 37604 While fishing on Cherokee Lake, in northeast Tennessee, on 3 August 1985 1 ob- served some Green Herons (Butorides virescens) engaged in unexpected feeding methods. About a dozen Green Herons were standing or stalking along 150 m of shoreline, typical behavior for this species (Kushlan 1976). However, at least three of these herons were also seen to fly out from shore and dive into dense schools of small fish. On these flights, the herons ventured as much as 30 m out from shore to areas where the water depth ranged up to 12 m (determined by a depth-finder on the boat). The flights reached heights of 1-3 m, from which the herons would either flutter feet first onto the water surface and stab at fish with their bills or dive head first into the schools of fish. After each capture attempt the herons flew back to shore. More than 15 such flights were observed, with about two-thirds successful. Their prey were small shad (Domsom sp., 5-10 cm long), which are abundant, pe- lagic forage fish in this reservoir. This behavior was seen again in August 1986 in the same area. I noted a similar incident while fishing at Boone Lake, also in northeast Tennes- see, on 18 August 1992.

  • BLANTON, Ray, Congressional Papers

    BLANTON, Ray, Congressional Papers

    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 RAY BLANTON CONGRESSIONAL PAPERS 1967 – 1972 Processed by: Stewart Southard Archival Technical Services Manuscripts Accession Number: 1995-098 Microfilm Accession Number: 1726 Date Completed: 12-3-2003 Location: XI–C–1-6; II–A–1v, Box 1 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION From his election in 1967 until his defeat to Howard Baker in 1972, Leonard Raymond Blanton served as U.S. Representative representing Tennessee’s Seventh Congressional District. As a freshman legislator from a predominantly rural district, Blanton had little influence on national politics, sponsoring few bills of any significance. He served on only two committees; the Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee and the District of Columbia Committee, where his attendance records were reportedly poor. Instead, Blanton concentrated his efforts on constituent service, returning often to his district, responding promptly to voter’s concerns, and working to draw federal money to finance projects in Tennessee. This collection of documents mirrors the focus Blanton placed on the needs of his constituency during his six years as U.S. Representative. More than one half of the documents in this collection consist of correspondence, both with constituents, and with state and federal agencies. During Blanton’s tenure as Representative, a number of divisive issues prompted individuals to write their congressman, by themselves or as part of organized letter writing campaigns. For example, both the war in Vietnam, and the court mandated busing of students to desegregate the schools prompted volumes of mail. Part of the constituent correspondence was filed by date, but the bulk of it is filed by subject.
