Many British immigrants were not afraid to venture out into the wilds of Tennessee during its early years. During the War of 1812, American officials required each state to submit lists of British aliens living within their bounds and to publish the lists in local newspapers to make Americans aware of their identities, for fear they might join with British forces. Tennessee reported 154 British aliens, many of whom had families, to the State Department in Washington, D.C. Of those 154, 102 lived in the East half of Tennessee and 52 in the West half. | |||
