National Tennessee Day

National Tennessee Day is on October 26. Tennessee is also known as the ‘volunteer state’. Tennessee volunteered many times to fight for America. In the 1812 Battle of New Orleans, Tennessee participated in overwhelming numbers, and again, during the 1846 Mexican-American War, when the secretary of war asked for 2,800 soldiers from the state, Tennessee offered 30,000. Tennessee is also the home of country music, hot chicken, rolling hills, and whiskey.
