Synopsis

East Tennessee and the Civil War reveals the measured history of a border region that chose the Union and endured its trials.

Oliver P. Temple presents a disciplined, eyewitness account of East Tennessee’s struggle from 1861 to 1866. The author aims to preserve important historical facts and to explain why East Tennessee’s people supported the United States during a time of great division. The narration blends candor with personal insight, reflecting the author’s own experiences and observations as a participant and observer.


The book surveys the region’s early settlers, pivotal battles, social life, and the politics surrounding secession and reunion. It also explores slavery, emancipation, religion, education, and daily life in a society torn by war. Rich with context and documentation, the work grounds its narrative in the perspective of East Tennessee’s Unionists and their enduring resolve.



  • A focused look at East Tennessee’s loyalties, motives, and hardships during the Civil War era.

  • Grounded discussion of secession, unionist leadership, and the political campaigns of 1860–1861.

  • Profiles of key figures, local communities, and the social forces shaping the era, including slavery and emancipation.
