Transcript of We, Tennesseans (annotated version)
a.k.a“Volunteer State”
got this nickname from the war of 1812 against britain, big number of volunteers
Oak Ridge was a secret city built during WWII to make components for the atomic bombs.
cool story :)
secret city, made components for the atomic bombs. legacy: one of the biggest labs in the usa
moonshine!
it’s a popular, home made, illegal kind of spirit.
it was even more popular when selling alcohol was illegal in the US
church!
TN is on the “bible belt,” where most of the strong christians are.
most people are christian and go to church regularly, and some take it *very* seriously.
and we get to play in the snow a few times in the winter :)
but (thankfully!) not nearly as much as those wisconsin folks
we got country music, lots of it.
Dolly Parton is a huge country star. famous for her music, acting, and... something else
we also have bluegrass, very traditional and one of the coolest music genres I’ve heard.
no percussion, no brass, just strings. and the fiddle. oh the fiddle.
and all this music stuff has its high point at bonnaroo, one of the biggest music festivals in the US
grits... don’t really taste like anything to me. you can put cheese and butter to make it salty, or jam to make it sweet.
good, not my favorite.
hot dogs!
they’re pretty different from ours. the hot dog itself looks more like the sausages we have here, and they’re grilled. also usually there isn’t much besides the bun and the hot dog.
sweetened iced tea!
I think it’s the number one thing tennesseans miss when they leave the south lol
and pink lemonade!
it was just weird first time I saw it, but tastes pretty good. sweeter than regular lemonade.
and corn dogs!
it’s like a deep fried hot dog made with a corn based flour... they’re good!
talking about deep frying... well, we like deep frying...
