Talk:History of Tennessee

message: History jumps from admission of the state to the Civil War. It needs a section about the antebellum years, when state population increased markedly, and the three divisions: Eastern, Middle and Delta Tennessee, took on their defining characteristics related to geography, agriculture and populations. The differing nature of the populations and agriculture in each section helps explain their initial votes on secession on the verge of the Civil War. --Parkwells 22:39, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Need Antebellum History

message: By having such limited coverage of what happened during Reconstruction, there is a problem with POV. Quoting one newspaper does not give a balanced account of what actually happened. That is more likely to be found in W.E.B. Du Bois and Eric Foner's histories of Reconstruction.--Parkwells 04:14, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This is worth discussing. I think that the fact that the Klan formed in Tennessee is a noteworthy piece of trivia (that's why it's one of the anniversaries listed on Portal:Tennessee/Selected anniversaries), but its formation is not necessarily an important item in the context of the history of the state. --Orlady (talk) 21:34, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The key omission in the Reconstruction section is mention of Governor Brownlow and his anti-Confederate policies.  The Klan, which was created largely out of opposition to these policies, fits more into that context.  FWIW, I've blurbed the Klan's creation in the lede of the main Tennessee article.

thread_title: Reconstruction

message: Needs something about the KKK. That group forming in Tennessee would be an important historical fact.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.72.70.124 (talk) 20:40, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
