Tennessee History: Cornelius Fort
Cornelia Fort was a rich girl in Nashville who wanted to be more than a rich girl from Nashville.
In 1940, a year after she graduated from college, she took a joyride and decided she wanted to fly airplanes. She took lessons and became a pilot. A year later she was giving a flying lesson in Hawaii when she saw Japanese warplanes heading toward Pearl Harbor. They fired on her, but she survived. The next year she was one of a small group of women chosen to be members of the Women’s Auxiliary Flying Squadron, which took new planes from factories to military bases.

Tennessee History: Elvis PresleyPresley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1935, and his working-class family moved to Memphis when he was a child. In 1954 a record producer named Sam Phillips signed him to a small recording label called Sun Records, and two years later he moved onto a much larger label called RCA.
For a while it looked like Elvis might be a country star (he once appeared on the Grand Ole Opry), but his manager Colonel Tom Parker saw something different in the young man.In 1956 Presley began going on national television shows, and from that point his career skyrocketed to the delight of teenagers and the horror of some of their parents.Presley died on August 16, 1977. Every year on that day his fans still make a pilgrimage to his Memphis home, Graceland.Slide16

Tennessee History: Andrew Jackson
As far as American history is concerned, Andrew Jackson is probably the most important person to come from Tennessee.
Andrew Jackson’s father died before he was born; his mother and both his brothers died before he was 14.Luckily for him, he found a job as a lawyer's apprentice when he was a teenager.
At the age of 20, Jackson was appointed to be a prosecutor (sort of like a judge) in the "Mero District" of the Southwest Territory (present day Middle Tennessee).Jackson then came to Nashville and would start to make his reputation as a good lawyer, an honest man and a tough man.This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-NDSlide21

Tennessee History: Andrew Johnson
As the Civil War came to a close in 1865, a man shot and killed President Abraham Lincoln.
At the time Lincoln hardly knew his vice president, a man from Tennessee named Andrew Johnson.Johnson was from Greeneville, where he owned a tailor shop.He later ran for Congress.
When the Civil War broke out, he remained loyal to the Union, which made him a hero up North and a villain in the eyes of many Southerners.It was because of this that Lincoln made Andrew Johnson his vice president in 1864.This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA-NCSlide25
Tennessee History: Andrew Johnson
It was a hard time to be president, and Johnson did not do well.
Johnson wanted to help the South recover from the war, while many people in Congress wanted to punish the South.Because of these disagreements Johnson nearly became the first president ever removed from office.
