A back spasm is one of the most painful life experiences for any person to endure. Muscle spasms in the back can be truly horrific and debilitating. I am intimately acquainted with these unbelievably painful occurrences, since I suffered with them for 18 years of my adult life.
Introduction. Tennessee became the 16th state of the union in 1796. It is just 112 miles wide, but stretches 432 miles from the Appalachian Mountains boundary with North Carolina in the east to the Mississippi River borders with Missouri and Arkansas in the west.
Tennessee remained divided even after the state seceded or left the Union. Many people in East Tennessee remained loyal to the Union. Support for the Confederacy was strong in Middle and West Tennessee. Many slaves hoped that a Union victory would bring them freedom. East Tennesseeâs loyalty to the Union came from its terrain and traditions.
