The Tennessee frontier was part of North Carolina. The settlers in Tennessee felt that North Carolina could not govern the region. Therefore the settlers wanted Tennessee to become a state. That also would help the settlers defend themselves from the Cherokee. A convention was held in the Tennessee frontier. Most people wanted statehood. Therefore the convention voted to apply for statehood. A state constitution was written and Tennessee applied to Congress for statehood. Congress approved the application and Tennessee became the 16th state on June 1, 1796.
