| Clarendon Grant 1663 |
Period I extends from 1663 the date of
Charles II s grant of Carolina to the Earl of Clarendon and his
associates to 1769 the date of the first known settlement of English
speaking people in Tennessee. The subjects treated in this period are
Indians Explorers and Adventurers. This period should be thoroughly
mastered in its facts and geographical details and its references
clearly explained before the succeeding period is taken up.
Period II extends from 1769 the date
of the first settlement to 1796 the date of Tennessee's admission
into the American Union. The subjects treated under several minor
headings are the Settlement and Organization of the State. These
twenty seven years embrace the Heroic Age of Tennessee. The period is
the most eventful romantic and glorious in the annals of the state
with the possible exception of the era of civil war. Judiciously
handled it will be of absorbing interest and incalculable benefit to
those who study it.
Period III extends from 1796 the date
of Tennessee's admission into the Union to 1861 the beginning of the
Civil War. The subject treated is The State before the Civil War It
is the period of development its constitutional legislative and
judicial affairs and of growth from pioneer communities into a great
and powerful commonwealth. It is notable for the number of
distinguished men it produced and the prominent parts they took in
the arena of both state and national politics.
Period IV extends from 1861 to 1865 and
embraces the blood stained years of The War between the States. It
should be closely studied in order that our young people who are now
so far from the din of that strife may clearly understand the motives
of the men of Tennessee who took part in that memorable struggle on
either the Confederate or the Federal side. This is due the memory of
the heroic dead and to the spirit of true patriotism which has ever
characterized Tennesseeans .
Period V extends from 1865 the close of
the Civil War to the present. The subject is The State since the
Civil War. The whole period is within the memory of all persons over
fifty years of age. It is marked by great political turmoil the
adjustment of a whole people to a new order of living and remarkable
educational commercial and industrial development.
