Tennessee became the 16th state to join the Union on June 1st, 1796 and is bordered by Kentucky and Virginia to the north, North Carolina in the east, and Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi in the south. Arkansas and Missouri are located to the west of it. This state wears the nickname of The Volunteer State and has had an important part in the establishment of many forms of popular music for America. These musical forms include country, rock and roll, blues, and rockabilly.
Tennessee is proudly nicknamed The Volunteer State and this nickname came about during The War of 1812.
