The Bock home is in historic Elizabethton, Carter County, Tn...Some History: John and Landon Carter came into Elizabethton in 1775 and bought land from the Cherokee. The Carter mansion is the oldest frame house in Tennessee and is open for tours. Fort Watauga was open on the frontier during the western expansion of the American frontier into Tennessee territory. In September, 1780, the Overmountain Men mustered at the fort to fight in the Battle of King’s Mountain and defeated the British in the region. The first constitution ever written by white men in America was drafted in 1772 by the Watauga Association at Sycamore Shoals near Elizabethton, Tennessee. Formation of the Watauga Association also marked the first attempt by Americans at complete self-government. The 1772 constitution was based on the Iroquois Federation's laws. More
Civil War battles were fought in Tennessee than any other state except
Virginia. The four national military parks in Tennessee are Chickamauga-Chattanooga
in Chattanooga, Stones River in Murfreesboro, Shiloh near Savannah, and
Fort Donelson near Dover.
Tennessee was the first state to be readmitted after the Civil War. East
Tennesseans were strongly pro-Union, while West and Middle Tennesseans
were primarily on the side of the Confederacy. |
