RouteXpert Review Tennessee is a state in the southeast, of which Nashville is the capital. The standard abbreviation is TN. The nickname, "Volunteer State", arose in the first half of the nineteenth century because the state supplied many volunteers for the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War.
Agriculture in Tennessee is far from the mule stereotype of the past. Technology, sustainability and innovation have also made their appearance here. The "Farmers" in the Volunteer State contribute approximately $ 74.8 billion to the Tennessee economy each year. Leading agricultural products are cattle and calves, broilers and milk, as well as soybeans, corn, hay, wheat, cotton, tobacco and a variety of fruits and vegetables.
Jackson is a city in the US state of Tennessee, and falls under Madison County in administrative terms. You should definitely visit the Casey Jones Home & Railroad Museum! The Railway Museum is located next to the historic home of Casey Jones and contains many exhibitions dedicated to the life of Casey and the famous final ride. Watch the short film about the story of Casey Jones, the three authentic train wagons and the original engine model that Casey drove. Civil war lovers will enjoy our permanent exhibition entitled "The Railroads & The Civil War In Tennessee." Also walk through the Jackson Room: a room dedicated to the rich railroad history of the city.
In this 4-star route you will drive on beautiful good roads, through beautiful surroundings, and you will also stop regularly to take some pictures in this route. Take some food and drinks with you on the way, so that you can have a drink at one of the stops along the Natchez Trace Parkway.
History:
The Battle of Jackson in Tennessee took place on December 19, 1862 in Madison County, Tennessee, during the American Civil War.
This confrontation took place during the expedition of the Southern Brigade General Nathan Bedford Forrest between December 11, 1862 and January 1, 1863. Forrest wanted to disrupt the supply line of the army of Ulysses S. Grant. Grants army was engaged in military operations along the Mississippi Railway. If Forrest succeeded in destroying the Mobile & Ohio railroad, it could seriously disrupt Grant's operations or even stop it. Forrest's 2,100-strong cavalry brigade crossed the Tennessee River between December 15 and December 17. To stop Forrest, Grant had ordered a concentration of troops around Jackson led by Brig. Gen. Jeremiah C. Sullivan and a cavalry unit led by Col. Robert G. Ingersoll to find Forrest. On December 18, Forrest crushed the Northern cavalry.
The following day Forrest was able to continue its advance. Sullivan ordered Colonel Adolph Englemann to position a small unit northeast of Jackson. At the Old Salem cemetery, Englemann repelled an enemy cavalry attack with two infantry regiments. He then withdrew for a mile and a half, closer to the town. This Southern cavalry attack in the cemetery, however, was a Forrest ruse. While pinning the enemy around Jackson through the attack with a small part of his cavalry, he was given the free hand to destroy the railroad to the south and north of the town. After the destruction of the railroad, Forrest shifted his attention to Trenton and Humboldt.

Tennessee
About this region
Tennessee, officially the State of Tennessee, is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States. Tennessee is the 36th largest by area and the 16th most populous of the 50 states. It is bordered by Kentucky to the north, Virginia to the northeast, North Carolina to the east, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi to the south, Arkansas to the southwest, and Missouri to the northwest. Tennessee is geographically, culturally, and legally divided into three Grand Divisions of East, Middle, and West Tennessee. Nashville is the state's capital and largest city, and anchors its largest metropolitan area. Tennessee's population as of the 2020 United States census is approximately 6.9 million.Tennessee is rooted in the Watauga Association, a 1772 frontier pact generally regarded as the first constitutional government west of the Appalachian Mountains. Its name is derived from "Tanasi", a Cherokee town in the eastern part of the state that existed before the first European American settlement. Tennessee was initially part of North Carolina, and later the Southwest Territory, before its admission to the Union as the 16th state on June 1, 1796. It earned the nickname "The Volunteer State" early in its history due to a strong tradition of military service. A slave state until the American Civil War, Tennessee was politically divided, with its western and middle parts supporting the Confederacy and the eastern region harboring pro-Union sentiment. As a result, Tennessee was the last state to secede and the first readmitted to the Union after the war.During the 20th century, Tennessee transitioned from a predominantly agrarian society to a more diversified economy. This was aided in part by massive federal investment in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the city of Oak Ridge, which was established during World War II to house the Manhattan Project's uranium enrichment facilities for the construction of the world's first atomic bombs. These were dropped on Imperial Japan at the end of the war. After the war, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory became a key center of scientific research. In 2016, the element tennessine was named for the state, largely in recognition of the roles played by Oak Ridge, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Tennessee in its discovery. Tennessee has also played a major role in the development of many forms of popular music, including country, blues, rock and roll, soul, and gospel.
Tennessee has diverse terrain and landforms, and from east to west, contains a mix of cultural features characteristic of Appalachia, the Upland South, and the Deep South. The Blue Ridge Mountains along the eastern border reach some of the highest elevations in eastern North America, and the Cumberland Plateau contains many scenic valleys and waterfalls. The central part of the state is marked by cavernous bedrock and irregular rolling hills, and level, fertile plains define West Tennessee. The state is twice bisected by the Tennessee River, and the Mississippi River forms its western border. Its economy is dominated by the health care, music, finance, automotive, chemical, electronics, and tourism sectors, and cattle, soybeans, corn, poultry, and cotton are its primary agricultural products. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the nation's most visited national park, is in eastern Tennessee.
