 Government |
The 1829 Tennessee gubernatorial election was held between 6 and 7 August 1829 in order to elect the Governor of Tennessee. On April 16, 1829, Governor Sam Houston following the collapse of his marriage, resigned as governor of Tennessee. William Hall, as Speaker of the Senate, was the first in the line of succession and thus became governor on April 16 but did not seek a full term.[1] Jacksonian[2][3] nominee and former Governor William Carroll easily won the election to a third term as he ran unopposed.[4]
