The opening portion reports "Tennessee would furnish more troops for the Union than every other Confederate state, combined." I live near Gettysburg and visit the NMP frequently. I was fascinated when I saw a diorama in the "new" visitors center detailing how many northerners joined southern regiments and vice versa. It would be fascinating to read more about this. Maybe I'll have to do the research!!! PurpleChez ( talk) 17:03, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
The old lede didn't summarise the main article, and there was nowhere in the article to re-insert the cites which I deleted because I don't think cites belong in the lede. I have supplied a new lede which I believe summarises the story, and it is the main article that I feel now needs attention. Valetude ( talk) 18:28, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
"On January 1, 1863, Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in states still in rebellion against the United States. Tennessee, although a seceded state, did not fall under the provisions of the proclamation. Tennessee was under Union control, and Andrew Johnson was serving as Military Governor." This quotation is linked to in Emancipation Proclamation, footnote 6. But I don't see it mentioned in the present article. When did Tennessee come under Union control?

The map is labeled "Map of the Confederate States." The most glaring problem is the map includes Missouri and Kentucky, which never joined the Confederacy, they were Border states that remained loyal to the Union. Second, the map includes Arizona Territory and Indian Territory (modern day Oklahoma), which weren't states at the time, and would be more accurately described as territories claimed by the Confederacy. 99.111.255.214 ( talk) 99.111.255.214 ( talk) 18:35, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
