 Tennessee is a fascinating state. I hope to live there one day. IIRC, the 3 stars on the state flag represent the 3 different, and rather, disparate regions of the state.

In any event, there is one major facto in the US occupation of secessionist Tennessee ( and Missouri, and Arkansas, and etc): rivers.

The rivers were both the major conduit for the advancing union armies and also the major arteries along which slavery flourished.
