| Gallatin history between
1861 through Reconstruction submitted by
C Smith: When the time came to choose sides, due to northern aggression the town was unanimous in their support of the Confederacy. With the first outbreak of hostilities in April of 1861, soldiers from Sumner County began joining ranks. The Union Army first captured the town in February 1862. In July of that year, General John H. Morgan recaptured Gallatin and held it until Confederate forces fell back to Chattanooga. After the war, Gallatin was left with occupational forces. Upon their departure, the area returned to being a small southern community with a solid and steady growth. The area was primarily agricultural until mid-century, but by 1970, industrialization resulted in only 50% of the county population being rural. Agriculture remains a major factor in the local economy, the leading crops being corn, tobacco, grains and fruits with livestock and dairy products contributing materially to farm income. |
