We are the Volunteers because we are the Volunteer State. Tennessee has a long history of volunteering for military duties. They also acquitted themselves well. In most every case.
TN became the Volunteer state when Andrew Jackson asked for volunteers to march to New Orleans during the war of 1812. During that time Jackson got the nick name Old Hickory.Thats why theres an Old Hickory TN.iirc
