 Tennessee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Tennessee was admitted to the Union in 1796 as the 16th state, and was created by taking the north and south borders of North Carolina and extending them with only one small deviation to the Mississippi River, Tennessee's western boundary.
Tennessee was the only state that seceded from the Union that did not have a military governor after the American Civil War, mostly due to the influence of President Andrew Johnson, a native of the state, who was Lincoln's vice president and succeeded him as president, due to the assassination.
The state is trisected by the Tennessee River.

 Tennessee State Flag - Blount Web
This flag was adopted as the official flag of the State of Tennessee by an act of the Legislature passed and approved April 17, 1905.
The author of the article was apparently not familiar with Tennessee, and, rather than consulting Tennessee sources for an explanation of her flag, he seems to have invented a theory based upon the coincidence that Tennessee was the sixteenth state to be admitted to the American Union, i.e., the third after the original thirteen.
Another common problem with the Tennessee flag is the issue of "which way is up," Despite the generally good example of the state government, as often as not Tennesseans will fly their flag upside down.

 US State Nicknames   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
However, a number of states have officially added a nickname to their licence plates (either as an option, or as an obligation under the legislation) even though the nickname is not recognised separately as a "state symbol".
It was introduced by the state's Chamber of Commerce in the 1940s for publicity purposes, and in 1951 was approved by the legislature for inclusion on licence plates, although the first of these did not appear until four years later.
One of the oldest state nicknames (and that which appeasr on its licence plates) is the Keystone State, probably applied to Pennsylvania from the late 18th century (although the first official citation is from 1802, when at a rally Pennsylvania was toasted as "the keystone in the union").

 SIMS CHALLENGING MOVE TO PLACE RELIGIOUS MOTTO ON TENNESSEE STATE FLAG
merican Atheists Tennessee State Director Carletta Sims is challenging draft legislation which would place the slogan "In God We Trust" on a new rendition of the state flag.
Sims added, "It's inappropriate to embellish the flag -- a government icon and symbol -- with a phrase that threatens the principle of church/state separation." She noted that the new flag would be placed in all government buildings and offices.
The presence of "In God We Trust" and the inclusion of the "under God" phrase in the Pledge of Allegiance are often cited by Christian conservatives as proof that the country is somehow founded on religious, and distinctly Christian beliefs.
