Knoxville

Edit
Knoxville

Knoxville is a city in the U.S. state of Tennessee, and the county seat of Knox County. The city had an estimated population of 185,291 in 2015 and a population of 178,874 as of the 2010 census, making it the state's third largest city after Nashville and Memphis.

First settled in 1786, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee. The city struggled with geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century. The arrival of the railroad in 1855 led to an economic boom. During the American Civil War, the city was bitterly divided over the secession issue, and was occupied alternately by both Confederate and Union armies. Following the war, Knoxville grew rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center.

Knoxville in The Guns of the South[]

The votes from Knoxville were the last to be counted during the Confederate Presidential race of 1867. They gave Robert E. Lee the necessary margin to carry the state of Tennessee, and with it the election overall.[1]

Knoxville in The Hot War[]

Knoxville was the hometown of the Curtis family. Major Cade Curtis returned there with his adopted son Jimmy after World War III. In December 1952, Major Curtis was fitted for a prosthetic leg.[2]

Knoxville in Southern Victory[]

Knoxville was left untouched by the conflicts between the United States and the Confederate States until the Second Great War.[3][4] Jake Featherston and the Freedom Party had been universally popular there, and remained so into 1943, even as the war was turning against the C.S.[5]

Intelligence officer Clarence Potter commanded a brigade stationed in Knoxville in Summer, 1943, tasked with meeting the U.S. drive. When it was finally sent into action, the brigade was promptly chewed up by U.S. bombers.[6]
