Disunion and Restoration in Tennessee

This book put the spotlight on Tennessee's role during the American Civil War, when it was a divided state, with the Eastern counties harboring pro-Union sentiment throughout the conflict. Tennessee was also the last state to officially secede from the Union, in protest at Lincoln's call for troops. Although the state provided a large number of troops for the Confederacy, it would also provide more soldiers for the Union Army than any other state within the Confederacy.
