  • John Sevier (September 23, 1745 – September 24, 1815) was an American soldier, frontiersman, and politician, and one of the founding fathers of the State of Tennessee. A member of the Democratic-Republican Party, he played a leading role in Tennessee's pre-statehood period, both militarily and politically, and he was elected the state's first governor in 1796. He served as a colonel of the Washington District Regiment in the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780, and he commanded the frontier militia in dozens of battles against the Cherokee in the 1780s and 1790s. Sevier settled in the Tennessee Valley frontier in the 1770s. In 1776, he was elected one of five magistrates of the Watauga Association and helped defend Fort Watauga against an assault by the Cherokee. At the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, he was chosen as a member of the Committee of Safety for the association's successor, the Washington District. Following the Battle of Kings Mountain, he led an invasion that destroyed several Cherokee towns in northern Georgia. In the 1780s, he served as the only governor of the State of Franklin, an early attempt at statehood by the trans-Appalachian settlers. He was brigadier general of the Southwest Territory militia during the early 1790s. Sevier served six two-year terms as Tennessee's governor: from 1796 until 1801, and from 1803 to 1809. Term limits prevented a fourth consecutive term in both instances. His political career was marked by a growing rivalry with rising politician Andrew Jackson, which nearly culminated in a duel in 1803. After his last term as governor, Sevier was elected to three terms in the United States House of Representatives from Tennessee, serving from 1811 until his death in 1815. (en)

  • John Sevier (Condado de Rockingham, 23 de setembro de 1745 - Alabama, 24 de setembro de 1815) foi um soldado americano, colonizador e político, um dos fundadores e 1º governador do estado do Tennessee. Ele teve um papel fundamental, como militar e político, na formação do estado até a chegada ao governo em 1796. Sevier serviu como Coronel na batalha de Kings Mountaind, em 1780 e comandou a milícia de fronteira em dezenas de batalhas contra os Cherokee e Chickamaugas na década de 1780 e de 1790. Sevier chegou na fronteira do Vale do Tennessee, na década de 1770. Em 1776, foi eleito um dos cinco magistrados da Associação Watauga (foi um governo semi-autônomo criado em 1772 por colonizadores de fronteira que viviam ao longo do Rio Watauga) e ajudou a defender o Forte Watauga contra um ataque dos Cherokee (índios nativos americanos). Com o início da Guerra da Independência dos Estados Unidos, foi escolhido como membro da Comissão de segurança para a sucessora da associação Watauga, o distrito de Washington. Após a batalha de Kings Mountain, ele liderou uma invasão que destruiu várias cidades dos Chickamauga, no norte da Geórgia. Na década de 1780, Sevier serviu como o único governador de estado de Franklin, uma tentativa de início, sem êxito, de um dos colonizadores assentados nos Trans-Appalachian. Ele era general-de-brigada da milícia no território sudoeste durante o início de 1790. Sevier exerceu seis mandatos de dois anos como governador do Tennessee, de 1796 até 1801 e de 1803 a 1809, com limitações de prazo pela constituição, impedindo um quarto mandato consecutivo em ambos os casos. Sua carreira política foi marcada por uma crescente rivalidade com ascendente político Andrew Jackson, que quase culminou em um duelo em 1803. Após seu último mandato como governador, Sevier exerceu dois mandatos na Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos, de 1811 até sua morte em 1815. (pt)
  • John Sevier, född 23 september 1745 i Rockingham County, Virginia, död 24 september 1815 nära Georgia, var en amerikansk politiker (demokrat-republikan). Han representerade både North Carolina och Tennessee i USA:s representanthus. Han var guvernör i 1784-1790. Han var den första och tredje guvernören i delstaten Tennessee. Sevier deltog i amerikanska revolutionen och blev speciellt känd tack vare insatsen som överste i 7 oktober 1780. North Carolina ville bli av med landområdet väster om Appalacherna. Konfederationens kongress fick 1784 motvilligt kontroll över området som ingen visste vad man skulle göra med. Det uppstod ett maktvakuum och John Sevier fick i uppdrag att styra området som tidigare hade tillhört North Carolina. Då bildades State of Franklin som numera omfattar den allra östligaste delen av Tennessee. Som sådan accepterades området inte som en delstat i USA och det införlivades sex år senare i ett större territorium som ytterligare sex år senare, 1796, blev delstaten Tennessee med Sevier som guvernör. Efter tiden som guvernör i State of Franklin representerade Sevier North Carolina i den första kongressen i representanthuset 1790-1791. Sevier var långvarig guvernör i Tennessee, först 1796-1801 och på nytt 1803-1809. Enligt Tennessees dåvarande konstitution kunde guvernören väljas endast tre gånger i rad till en tvåårig mandatperiod. Därför var det varken 1801 eller 1809 möjligt för Sevier att ställa upp i guvernörsval. Sevier ville efter sin första tid som guvernör bli generalmajor och få alla frivilligtrupper i Tennessee under sitt befäl. Bland dem som fick delta i valet av det nya befälet fick Seviers efterträdare som guvernör, Archibald Roane, avgöra. Roane valde sin vän Andrew Jackson. Det uppstod en bitter rivalitet mellan Sevier och Jackson. De möttes 1803 med syfte att utkämpa en duell men lät bli att avfyra sina vapen efter att ha blivit övertalade av sina sekundanter. Sevier representerade Tennessee i USA:s representanthus från 1811 fram till sin död. Han dog på en inspektionsresa i gränstrakterna mellan Georgia och indianstammen marker. Sevier County, Tennessee har fått sitt namn efter John Sevier. (sv)
