Final answer:

The appeal of John Bell, changing secession sentiment in Middle Tennessee, Tennessee's delayed secession, the brutality of Civil War fighting, the importance of Tennessee rivers, and the impact of the Battle of Shiloh.


Explanation:

John Bell appealed differently to Tennesseans due to his stance on secession - some saw him as a moderate alternative. Middle Tennessee's change in secession sentiment can be attributed to shifting perspectives and wartime influences. Tennessee was last to leave the union due to internal divisions and political dynamics.

Fighting in the Civil War was notably more brutal due to technological advancements and strategic shifts. Tennessee's rivers played a crucial role in the war, serving as transportation and supply routes. The Battle of Shiloh, while a Union victory, indirectly aided the Confederacy by boosting morale and reinforcing their resolve.
