==Politics==
Like most of East Tennessee, Fentress County has been heavily [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] since the Civil War. Since then, only two [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]]s, southerners [[Jimmy Carter]] in [[1976 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1976]] and [[Bill Clinton]] in [[1992 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1992]] and [[1996 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1996]] have carried Fentress County.
Fentress County was largely divided during the Civil War, providing four companies to the Confederacy and three to the Union. In recent decades the county has been increasingly Republican.
