How did leaders such as William Blount and John Sevier contribute to the establishment of statehood in Tennessee?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Leaders such as William Blount and John Sevier contributed to the establishment of statehood in Tennessee in that they played an important role in the creation of the state after the government of North Carolina had ceded a portion of its territory to the US federal government that established districts in the Cumberland area and two in East Tennessee.

The federal government appointed William Blount as the first governor in 17989.

The first thing Blount did was to protect the people from the Native Indians' attacks and in 1795 he ordered a Constitutional convention. That was the first time that the government met with the purpose of killing the Union.
