Knoxville was one of the State's Principal towns, since the beginning of settlement. Three silversmiths and no less than three other specialist working in silver earned a living three in 1860. Littler towns were more averse to draw in an expert silversmith, however no less than ten different silversmiths worked in Tennessee's littler towns in 1860.
The Civil war was another enormous piece of my Historical examination. There was consistently a dark populace not held as slaves, delegated "free Negros". In 1860 three were around seven thousand free blacks in Tennessee, living for the most part in or close to the bigger towns, particularly Nashville. They lived in a universe of conundrums, since they were for the most part seen as a danger to the organization of subjugation and, particularly after the 1830s, their flexibility was incredibly choked.
Free blacks valued more control over their own particular time, advancement, and family life than did the slaves. Additionally, laws had little infringement on their property rights.

    What becomes clear is that the events–before, after, and during Carmichael’s visit and the speeches he delivered—took place on two quite distinct, though not completely independent levels. Creating and then using the “hate-spieling” atmosphere that Carmichael duped as a modern version of the theatre of the absurd in his speech, city and state officials – helped by James Stahlman’s Banner, created a narrative of “outside instigation” that reinforced the notion of Nashville as an exceptional, moderate city in terms of its racial climate. By using a strategy that had proved successful on the local level in the past and that had been widely used to vilify Carmichael and challenge his status as a U.S. citizen, some Nashvillian officials, in close cooperation with state representatives, successfully deflected from the deep underlying racial problems that still existed in the city.…

    When professor mentioned that we would watch and discuss about a Broadway Musical show named ‘Memphis’, the first that came to my mind was, the actual city Memphis in the southern state of Tennessee. I was still confused as to how a city and its activities could be incorporated into a Musical show, which is assumed to be entertaining with melodramatic components, dance and music. I had an assumption that it would be academic, political, boring since it is to be watched in a classroom setting and that a professor would not choose something entertaining or something of the liking of the younger generation. I deduced that this play might touch the topic of race since race defined how a person is treated in most southern states. I assumed that…
