I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- I81BAI_170611_01.JPG: The Greenville Convention
To Secede from Tennessee?
During the Civil War, political divisions deeply scarred the residents of East Tennessee. Although many slaveholders lived here and prospered, most farmers and shopkeepers neither owned slaves nor sides with a cause that protected slavery. After Tennessee voters approved secession and joined the Confederacy early in June 1861, delegates from this region gathered at the Greene County courthouse to decide whether to remain in Tennessee or break away and form a Unionist state.
Delegates from the 29 East Tennessee counties and Fentress County in Middle Tennessee answered former U.S. Congressman Thomas A.R. Nelson's call for a regional convention and met on June 17-20 in Greenville. Oliver P. Temple of Knox County proposed resolutions that East Tennessee, having voted overwhelmingly against secession was unconstitutional, requested that the state assembly permit the region to form its own state government.
The Confederate government in Nashville ignored the resolutions, instead sending an army to occupy East Tennessee, which did not form another state. The region and its delegates became staunch Republicans, with Greene County resident Andrew Johnson serving successively as Tennessee's military governor, vice president of the United States, and president. William G. "Parson" Brownlow, a strong Unionist, was elected governor of Tennessee after the war.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
