Excerpt from The Loyalists of Tennessee in the Late War: A Paper Read Before the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, April 6, 1887 Among the first Abolition societies ever organized in this country were those of Eastern Tennessee. In the year 1816 the Manumission Society of Tennessee held a meet ing at Greenville, and issued an address advocating the abolition of slavery. When Abraham Lincoln was elected President, and South Carolina and other Southern States proceeded in hot haste to sever their connection with the Union, Tennesseewas utterly averse to taking such a step. The secessionists urged that if the slave States would make a common cause, and go out of the Union promptly, the Government would not attempt coercion, and the secession movement would be carried out successfully. It was gravely insisted that the Northern people were too fond of making money to go to war; and if perchance they did make up their minds to fight, one Southern man would prove more than a match for five Yankees. But a majority of the people of Tennessee were willing to at least wait until the new President committed some overt act that might afford something like a pretext for secession.
