Tennessee has had several nicknames, but the most popular is "The Volunteer State." The nickname originated during the War of 1812, in which the volunteer soldiers from Tennessee, serving under Gen. Andrew Jackson, displayed marked valor in the Battle of New Orleans. Others say it was because President Polk called for volunteers for the Mexican American War and there were 30,000 volunteers from Tennessee that wanted to avenge the death of Davy Crockett.
