The Story of Our States By JONATHAN ERACE XVI..f-TENNESSEE T HkE history of Tennes see stretches bacip to the year 1541 when De Soto with his par." ty of Spanish adventurers probably reached the present site of Memphis on { tie Mississippi, The French t under La Sale built a fort here about 1682. The Ehglish also laid claim to this territory, in cluding it in the grint to North Carolina. It was not until 1770 that the first permanent settle ment was nade by James Rob ertson and this was soon fol lowed by many other settlers from North Carolina. They i fortned what they called the Wi.hington district, but this was short lived as it was promptly annexed to North + Carolina. In 1784 the inhabli tants, indignant over North Car ! olina's attitude toward them, f declared their independence and formed the State of Franklin or Frankland. As this seces slon was not countenanced by North Carolina, for a number of years a state of confusion1 existed with two sets of officers ! trying to govern. Meanwhile { the settlement suffered severely s from hostile Indians and from the Spanish, who still held Lou isina, and controlled the Mis i sissippi river. In 1790 North Calolinn finally ceded this ter- I ritory to the United States. By i 1706 the population had in creased to over 60,000, so Ten- : nessee was admitted as the six teenth state of the Union. At the outbreak of the Civil war, Tennessee joined the Con feleraevy. In 1866, when the state was readmitted to the Un ion, tlin-re wats much disorder dur;in'g the reconstruction period., This led to the formation of-the N in Klux Klan, the in(luence of whch qickly spread through out the Soutlm'n states. This sevrr organization took into own hands tMe sutppres L sn of crime and the admin 1st rat ion of justice. ''nnessee contains 42,022 square miles, and Is sonetimcs 4 allisi the Volutnteer state.
