Slave-owning jingoist imperialist warmongers!!!

As the land grand university for the state of Tennessee, UT adopted the state’s moniker of “The Volunteer State” for its athletic teams.
The history of the “The Volunteer State” began with the War of 1812 when Gen. Andrew Jackson led more than 1,500 soldiers from his home state to fight for the United States at the Battle of New Orleans.
The name truly took hold during the Mexican-American war when President James K. Polk, another native son, made an appeal for 2,600 nationwide volunteers at the beginning of the conflict that resulted in more than 30,000 soldiers from his home state alone.
