Tennessee is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. The state is limited to Kentucky and Virginia to the north; North Carolina to the east; Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi to the south; and with Arkansas and Missouri to the west. Tennessee is known as The Volunteer State, due to the military spirit of its population.
The Tennessee region was sparsely populated and belonged to the state of North Carolina. After its population grew significantly from the 1750s, it separated from North Carolina in 1796. Tennessee was elevated to the status of State on June 1, 1796. After joining the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War, it was readmitted as an American state in 1869.
