In the end, the state decided to join the Union. During the war, there were multiple battles fought on this state's soil. One of which was the Battle of Perryville, in which the Confederates wished to take control of the bordering land.

However, in the east, more specifically the mountain regions of the state, whites were poor and slaves were limited. As a result, they would supply more volunteers to Union troops rather than the Confederate army. The territory also included and consisted of the Battle of Shiloh; the Tennessee River, which was used for transportation; and Fort Henry, which was captured by the Union in February 1862. ]]> 2022-01-11 18:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/asoriano22/cpo8sjkglfc8rvz4/wish/1986724643 asoriano22 https://padlet.com/asoriano22/cpo8sjkglfc8rvz4/wish/1986726337 Following the secession of seven states from the Union, the states' delegates met in Montgomery, Alabama.

Brown planned on giving muskets to slaves in the area in order to cause a Southern uprising. Along with executing this, he cut telegraph lines and captured slave holders, erupting a siege in the factory town.
