Tennessee has played a prominent role in American history. After the Revolution, Tennessee was the first Federal territory to apply for statehood to Congress and became the 16th state. Tennessee is known as The Volunteer State, although the reason behind the nickname differs. Some say it was in honor of the volunteers who showed great valor in the War of 1812 and other sources tie the nickname to the Mexican-American War. Regardless of where the name comes from, you can learn more about your ancestors through the articles found in Tennessee newspaper archives. Perhaps your ancestors fought in the key Civil War battles many of which were fought in Tennessee.
