Answer:
B. The majority of Tennesseans wanted to remain part of the Union at that time.
Explanation:
In 1860 the governor Isham G. Harris supported Breckinridge for president and warned that the state should consider seceding if the north gains control on the federal government. After Lincoln´s election as President of the United States Harris ordered a statewide referendum to decide if Tennessee should consider secession.
East Tennessee was in majority against the separation of the Union while the majority of the West was in favor. Middle Tennessee was the place in which the referendum would mark a difference. The Tennesseans rejected secession by a vote of 68,000 to 59,000.
