 | | The Tennessee General Assembly enacted legislation in April 1994 creating the Tennessee Wars Commission, which is administratively attached to the Tennessee Historical Commission. |
 | | The duties of the Wars Commission include the coordination of planning, preservation, and promotion of structures, buildings, sites, and battlefields of Tennessee associated with the French and Indian War (1754-1763), American Revolution War (1775-1783), War of 1812 (1812-1815), U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848), and the War Between the States (1861-1865). |
 | | An Emmy Award-winning video, Hallowed Ground, Preserving Tennessee's Civil War Battlefields, is being sent to over 2000 Tennessee public schools for use in their libraries and history classes associated with the 5th, 8th, and 11th grades. |
