Tennessee, nicknamed The Volunteer State for its role in sending volunteers to fight the War of 1812, is a southern state with a total population of about 5.7 million people according to the U.S. Census of 2000. Geographically divided into East Tennessee, Middle Tennessee and West Tennessee, the state is a study in contrasts from the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains in the east to the Gulf Coastal Plain in the west. The Tennessee economy is based on textiles, cotton, cattle farming and power generation. Founded in 1933, the Tennessee Valley Authority continues to oversee power generation and navigation of waterways in the Tennessee Valley.
