Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of J. M. Dickinson: The Centennial of the Admission of the State of Tennessee Into the Union On June I, 1796, George Washington approved the act which made Tennessee the sixteenth State in the Federal Union. The cession by North Carolina to the United States of the territory embraced in Tennessee provided for its Statehood, but there was strong opposition to admission at that time in both houses of Congress. The settlers of Tennessee were imbued with a constant and all-controlling idea of law and order as an expression of local government. They were irrepressible constitution makers. Where-ever they established their settlements, they hardly took time to build their houses before they set about constructing a system of government. And so, when the time approached for shedding the chrysalis condition of a territorial government, and putting on the larger life of Statehood they, following this bent, and also profiting by the experience of Kentucky, which had repeatedly been rebuffed, anticipated the action of Congress, took their own census, adopted a constitution, elected a Legislature and Governor and inaugurated him, passed laws dividing the State into congressional districts, elected Congressmen and Senators and presidential electors, and were in the exercise of the full functions of a State for a month before the bill for admission came up in either house of Congress. And what seems almost audacious, her Senators presented their credentials, and asked admission to the United States Senate before the act was passed. It is apparent that even then the question of balance of power between the States was a potent, though not an avowed factor.
