Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the proceedings of the Tennessee General Assembly's 1861 session. The assembly convened to address the urgent crisis created by the secessionist movement and the imminent threat of war following President Lincoln's inaugural address calling for an end to the secessionist movement. The author documents the assembly's strenuous efforts to navigate a path through the political turmoil of the time, including the secession vote, a military league with the Confederacy, and the accompanying shift in the state's political alliances. Additionally, the book highlights the assembly's emphasis on raising and equipping a provisional force to defend the state and its new political position, and their efforts to amend existing laws to align with the new Confederate government. The assembly's proceedings, as recorded in this book, provide invaluable insights into the political machinations and social complexities of a state grappling with its place in a nation on the brink of civil war, balancing a desire for sovereignty with the realities of political expedience, and ultimately choosing to stand with the Confederacy.
