Like much of East Tennessee, Scott became an enclave community[1] of the Union during the war. Although its edict had never been officially recognized, the county did not officially rescind its act of secession until 1986. HistoryTennessee was the last state to secede from the Union. On June 8, 1861, the people of Scott County, spurred on in part by a speech delivered four days earlier on the steps of the Huntsville courthouse by then-Senator (and future president) Andrew Johnson[2]—a Democrat and himself a slave holder—voted overwhelmingly (541–19) against Tennessee's referendum on secession from the Union. Later that year, the county court voted to approve the Scott County Assembly's unanimous resolution of secession from Tennessee,[3] while allowing the immediate formation of the "Independent State of Scott,"[2][4] an enclave community whose sympathies remained strongly loyal to the Union throughout the war. Of little strategic value, the mountainous State of Scott was not the site of any fighting on a major scale during the Civil War, instead seeing mostly guerrilla warfare, bushwhacking, and skirmishing, which often took on a brutally violent and vicious nature.[4] AftermathThe proclamation was finally repealed by Scott County in 1986. The county petitioned the state of Tennessee for readmission,[2] which was ceremonially granted, even though its secession had not been recognized by the state—nor the federal governments of either the Union or the Confederacy. RemnantsRoadside markerToday, a roadside marker on Highway 63, near the county seat, Huntsville, Tennessee, reads: {{quote|United States Senator Andrew Johnson delivered a speech at the Courthouse at Huntsville on June 4, 1861 against separation. At the election four days later Scott County voted against separation by the largest percentage margin of any county in Tennessee. Later that year in defiance of the state's action of secession, the county court by resolution seceded from the state and formed the Free and Independent State of Scott.[5]}}See also
