Just east of Nashville on I-24 is Murfeesboro (sp?) . there was a battle fought there. I stopped there along time ago to visit it. Further east is Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain. Chattanooga changed hands severaal times during the War.In the mountainous northeast part of Tennessee around Knoxville is the area that was a Union stronghold. (In fact it was true in most of the Confederacy that the mountainous regions were pro-Union and anti-slavery. West Virginia separated from Virginia during the War because of opposition to slavery and secession.)

There are alot of other Civil War battle sites in all parts of Tennesee. In the western part, is the Fort Pillow massacre site. A force of black Union troops were captured and then executed by the Confederates.

If you contact the Tennessee tourism office, then can send you tons of stuff about the State. They must have a website. Just specify that you are interested in Civil War sites.
