 * Tennessee **

**History** Tennessee is a very interesting state becuase of it's uniqe history and landforms. This state's nickname is the volunteer state because of the kind and caring people who make up this beautiful state. The state motto is "agriculture and commerce". Tennessee applied for statehood and was the 16th state and joined the union on June 1st, 1796.The official state flower is the iris and the tree is the tulip poplar. The state bird is the, famous, mocking bird.

This states history begins on June 1st 1796,when Tennessee became the 16th state of the U.S. Andrew Jackson helped draw up some of the first copies of the states constitution. In 1878, one of the worst Yellow Fever epidemics in the U.S. history killed more than 5,200 of their people. This illness is usually spread threw animals bitten by mosquitoes, but can be lethal to humans. A new constitution was written on February 23rd1870. This allowed men 21 or over the right to vote, but the women still could not vote until later in the years. In the year 1861Tennessee had been the last state to secede from the union on June 8th. Congress created the Tennessee Valley “Authority on 1933.This plan works together to make their natural resources more available. This would also save them in times of a depression or wars.

I chose this state because I thought that it would be cool state to experience traveling to. I never have been to this state before. It sounds like a really neat place to visit. I want to know what it would be like to live here in a different area. It has an interesting history about how the state formed. I think that it would be a great place to see different to experience different ways to get other resources that we regularly have.Some cities I would like to visit while I am there is Nashville,Memphis,and Chattanooga.I would also like to see some landforms like the Great Smokey Mountians and the Cumberland Plateuas during the dates of 8/18/10 and 8/24/10. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=mockingbird&gbv=2&aq=0&oq=mocking&aqi=g10&safe=ac tive
