"Organized chronologically by source and speaker, this volume presents a selection of primary sources from December 1860 through the summer of 1861, inviting students to examine the arc of Tennessee's secession march. Dwight T. Pitcaithley introduces proclamations, declarations, addresses, resolutions, proposed constitutional amendments, and other materials from Tennessee legislators, members of Congress, and delegates to the East Tennessee Convention. These sources highlight the political divisions apparent in the Volunteer State during this season of unrest and the central role of the issue of slavery in those divisions. Complete with appendices featuring 1861 election returns, communications from the Tennessee Congressional Delegation of the Thirty-Sixth Congress, and a timeline for Secession Winter--as well as questions for further discussion--Tennessee Secedes is an invaluable resource for students of the Civil War and Tennessee history, offering an insightful analysis of Tennessee's uncertain path to the Confederacy in the summer of 1861"--
