One is a southern river. One is a midwestern river.
The Tennessee flows north from Guntersville until it discharges into the Ohio River near Paducah at the Illinois-Kentucky border.
It’s just as much a midwest river as the Mississippi

Exactly zero miles of the Tennessee abut or flow through any midwestern state. There's about 800 miles of the Mississippi that do.
The Mississippi is as much Mark Twain as it is plantations and blues. (And, for that matter, the literal father of the blues was born on the Tennessee river in Florence, AL, and honed his craft in Guntersville before he ever set foot in Memphis on the Mississippi.).
