'''Mississippi''' is a
U.S. Southern States Southern U.S. state state of the
United States.
Geography
Mississippi is bordered on the north by the state of
Tennessee; on the east by
Alabama, on the south by
Louisiana and the
Gulf of Mexico; and on the west by Louisiana and
Arkansas (across the
Mississippi River).
Major rivers include Mississippi River,
Big Black River,
Pearl River, and
Yazoo River. Major lakes include
Ross Barnett Reservoir,
Arkabutla Lake,
Sardis Lake, and

The highest point in Mississippi is
Woodall Mountain. Hardly a mountain, Woodall Mountain is only 806 feet (246 m) above sea level. The lowest point is along the shore at the Gulf of Mexico; sea level. The Mean Elevation is 300 feet (91 m) above sea level.
Most of Mississippi is part of the
East Gulf Coastal Plain, and the rest of the state is made up of a section of the
Mississippi Alluvial Plain. The East Gulf Coastal Plain is generally composed of low hills, such as the Pine Hills in the south and the North Central Hills. Somewhat higher elevations are in the
Pontotoc Ridge and the Fall Line Hills in the northeast. Yellow-brown
loess soil is in the west, and a region of fertile black earth, part of the
Black Belt, is in the northeast. The coastline, which includes large bays at
Bay Saint Louis,
Biloxi, Mississippi Biloxi, and
Pascagoula, Mississippi Pascagoula, is separated from the Gulf of Mexico proper by the shallow
Mississippi Sound, which is partially enclosed by Petit Bois, Horn, Ship, and Cat islands. The Mississippi Alluvial Plain, known also as the Delta, is narrow in the south and widens north of
Vicksburg, Mississippi Vicksburg. The region has rich soil, partly made up of silt deposited by floodwaters of the Mississippi River.
Areas under the management of the
National Park Service include:
*

Climate
Mississippi has a warm, humid climate, with long
summers and short, mild
winters. Temperatures average about 82 F (about 28 C) in
July and about 48 F (about 9 C) in
January. The temperature varies little across the state in summer, but in winter the region near Mississippi Sound is significantly warmer than most of the rest of the state. The recorded temperature in Mississippi has ranged from -19 F (-28.3 C), in
1966, at
Corinth, Mississippi Corinth in the northeast, to 115 F (46.1C), in
1930, at
Holly Springs, Mississippi Holly Springs in the north. Yearly
precipitation generally increases from north to south. Thus,
Clarksdale, Mississippi Clarksdale, in the northwest, gets about 50 inches (about 1270 mm) of moisture annually and
Biloxi, Misssissippi Biloxi, in the south, about 61 inches (about 1550 mm). Small amounts of
snow fall in northern and central Mississippi. In the late summer and the
fall, the state is occasionally struck by
hurricanes moving north from the Gulf of Mexico. Mississippi is also struck by
tornadoes, especially from
February to
May.
History
''Main article:
History of Mississippi''
Mississippi was part of the
Mississippian culture in the early part of the
2nd millennium second millennium AD; descendant
Native Americans in the United States Native American tribes include the
Chickasaw and
Choctaw. Other tribes who inhabited the territory of Mississippi (and whose names became those of local towns) include the
Natchez (people) Natchez, the
Yazoo tribe Yazoo, and the
Tunica-Biloxi Biloxi.
The first expedition into the territory that became Mississippi was that of
Hernando de Soto (explorer) Hernando de Soto, who passed through in
1540. The first settlement was that of
Ocean Springs, Mississippi Ocean Springs (or Old Biloxi), settled by
Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville in
1699. In
1716,
Natchez, Mississippi Natchez was founded on the Mississippi River (as '''Fort Rosalie'''); it became the dominant town and trading post of the area. After spending some time under Spanish, British, and French nominal jurisdiction, the Mississippi area was deeded to the
British after the
French and Indian War under the terms of the
Treaty of Paris (1783) Treaty of Paris.
The
Mississippi Territory was
organized territory organized on
April 7,
1798, from territory ceded by
Georgia (U.S. state) Georgia and
South Carolina; it was later twice expanded to include disputed territory claimed by both the
United States U.S. and
Spain. Land was purchased (generally through unequal treaties) from Native American tribes from
1800 to about
1830.
Mississippi was the 20th state admitted to the Union, on
December 10,
1817.
When
King Cotton cotton was king during the
1850s, Mississippi plantation owners—especially those of the
Mississippi Delta Delta and
Black Belt (region of Alabama) Black Belt regions—became increasingly wealthy due to the high fertility of the soil and the high price of cotton on the international market. The severe wealth imbalances and the necessity of large-scale slave populations to sustain such income played a heavy role in both state politics and in the support for secession.
Mississippi was the second state to secede from the Union as one of the
Confederate States of America on
January 9,
1861. During the
American Civil War Civil War the Confederate States were defeated. Under the terms of
Reconstruction, Mississippi was readmitted to the Union on
February 23,
1870.
Mississippi was considered to typify the
Deep South during the era of
Jim Crow. A series of increasingly restrictive racial segregation laws enacted during the first part of the 20th century resulted in the emigration of almost half a million people, three-quarters of them black, in the
1940s. However, at the same time, Mississippi became a center of rich, quintessentially American music traditions:
gospel music,
jazz music,
blues, and
rock and roll all were invented, promulgated, or heavily developed by Mississippi musicians. Mississippi was also noted for its authors in the early twentieth century, especially
William Faulkner and
Tennessee Williams.
Mississippi was a center of the
American Civil Rights Movement (1955-1968) American Civil Rights Movement. While many in the state supported the effort to secure voting and other rights for
African-Americans, the vocal opposition of many politicians and officials and the violent tactics of
Ku Klux Klan members and sympathizers gave Mississippi a reputation as a reactionary state during the
1960s.
The state was the last to repeal
prohibition and to ratify the
Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery, in
1966 and
1995 respectively.
On
August 17,
1969,
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale Category 5 Hurricane Camille hit the Mississippi coast, killing 248 people and causing US$1.5 billion in damage (1969 dollars). On
August 29,
2005,
Hurricane Katrina caused even greater destruction across the entire 90 miles of
Mississippi Gulf Coast from Louisiana to Alabama.

As of 2005, Mississippi has an estimated population of 2,921,088, which is an increase of 20,320, or 0.7%, from the prior year and an increase of 76,432, or 2.7%, since the year 2000. This includes a natural increase since the last census of 80,733 people (that is 228,849 births minus 148,116 deaths) and an increase due to net migration of 75 people into the state. Immigration from outside the United States resulted in a net increase of 10,653 people, and migration within the country produced a net loss of 10,578 people.
*The 2000 Census reported Mississippi's population as 2,844,658 [http://www.censusscope.org/us/s28/chart_popl.html].
Racial makeup and ancestry
The Census Bureau considers
race and Hispanic origin to be two separate categories. This data, however, is only for non-Hispanic members of each group: non-Hispanic Whites, non-Hispanic Blacks, etc. For more information on race and the Census, see
Race (U.S. Census) here.

Until about
1940,
African American Blacks made up a majority of Mississippians. Their share of the population has since declined, but has in recent years begun to increase, due mainly to a younger Black age structure caused by a relatively high Black
birthrate, although this has subsided somewhat in recent years. In Mississippi's public school system, the majority of students are Black. [http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/states/profile.asp] Blacks currently predominate in the northwestern Yazoo Delta, the southwestern, and central parts of the state.
Nearly 10,000 Native Americans (mostly Choctaw) live in the east central section of the state. The small
Chinese people Chinese population found in the
Mississippi River Delta Delta is descended from farm laborers brought there from
California in the 1870s. The Chinese did not adjust well to the Mississippi plantation system, however, and most of them became small merchants. The coastal fishing industry has attracted
Southeast Asian refugees.
More than 98% of the
White (people) white population of Mississippi is native-born, predominantly of
Northern Europe Northern European descent. According to the 2000 census, the largest ancestries are
United States American (14.2%),
Irish people Irish (6.9%),
English people English (6.1%),
German people German (4.5%), and
Italian people (1.42%). There is also to a lesser extent
France French population, however French Creoles are the largest demographic group in Hancock County on the Gulf Coast. The black, Choctaw (in Neshoba County), and Chinese segments of the population are also almost entirely native-born.
Economics
Image:wiki_mississippi.jpg thumb|left|275px|Greetings from Mississippi
[http://www.bea.gov/ The Bureau of Economic Analysis] estimates that Mississippi's total state product in 2003 was $72 billion. Per capita personal income in 2003 was $23,466, 51
st in the nation (ranking includes the District of Columbia).
Mississippi's rank as the poorest state can be traced to the
American Civil War Civil War. Before the Civil War, Mississippi was the fifth-wealthiest state in the nation. The war cost the state 30,000 men. Plantation owners who survived the war were virtually bankrupted by the emancipation of slaves, and Union troops left widespread destruction in their wake.
A decision in
1990 to legalize
riverboat gambling has led to economic gains for the state. However, an estimated $500,000 per day in tax revenue was lost following
Hurricane Katrina's severe damage to several
riverboat casinos in
August 2005. Gambling towns in Mississippi include the Gulf Coast towns of
Gulfport, Mississippi Gulfport and
Biloxi, Mississippi Biloxi, and the river towns of
Tunica, Mississippi Tunica,
Greenville, Mississippi Greenville,
Vicksburg, Mississippi Vicksburg and
Natchez, Mississippi Natchez. Before Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, Mississippi was the second largest gambling state in the Union, ahead of
New Jersey and behind
Nevada.
On
October 17,
2005, Governor
Haley Barbour signed a bill into law that now allows casinos in Hancock and Harrison counties to rebuild on land (but within 800 feet of the water). The only exception is in
Harrison County, where the new law states that casinos can be built to the southern boundary of
U.S. Route 90.
Mississippi collects personal
income tax within 3 tax brackets, ranging from 3 percent to 5 percent. The retail
sales tax rate in Mississippi is 7 percent. Additional local sales taxes also are collected. For purposes of assessment for
ad valorem taxes, taxable
property tax property is divided into five classes.

Law and government
As with all other
U.S. States and the federal government, Mississippi's government is based on the
Separation of powers separation of legislative, executive and judicial power. Executive authority in the state rests with the Governor, currently
Haley Barbour (Republican). The
Lieutenant Governor, currently Amy Tuck (originally elected as a Democrat, she switched to the Republican Party in 2002), is elected on a separate ballot. Both the governor and lieutenant governor are elected to four-year terms of office. Unlike the federal government, but like many other U.S. States, most of the heads of major executive departments are elected by the citizens of Mississippi rather than appointed by the governor.
''(See:
List of Governors of Mississippi)''
''(See:
Lieutenant Governors of Mississippi List of Lt. Governors of Mississippi)''
''(See:
State Treasurer of Mississippi List of State Treasurers of Mississippi)''
''(See:
Mississippi General Election 2003 Mississippi general election results, 2003)''
Legislative authority resides in the
Mississippi Legislature state legislature, composed of the
Mississippi Senate Senate and
Mississippi House of Representatives House of Representatives. The lieutenant governor presides over the Senate, while the House of Representatives selects their own Speaker. The state constitution permits the legislature to establish by law the number of senators and representatives, up to a maximum of 52 senators and 122 representatives. Current state law sets the number of senators at 52 and representatives at 122. The term of office for senators and representatives is four years.
''(See:
List of state legislatures of the United States.)''
Supreme judicial authority rests with the state Supreme Court, which has statewide authority. In addition, there is a statewide Court of Appeals, as well as Circuit Courts, Chancery Courts and Justice Courts, which have more limited geographical jurisdiction. The nine judges of the Supreme Court are elected from three districts (three judges per district) by the state's citizens in non-partisan elections to eight-year staggered terms. The ten judges of the Court of Appeals are elected from five districts (two judges per district) for eight-year staggered terms. Judges for the smaller courts are elected to four-year terms by the state's citizens who live within that court's jurisdiction.
At the federal level, Mississippi's two U.S. senators are
Trent Lott (Republican) and
Thad Cochran (Republican).
As of 2001 As of the 2001 reapportionment, the state has four
congressmen in the U.S.
United States House of Representatives House of Representatives.
''(See:
List of United States Representatives from Mississippi)''
Mississippi has 82
counties. Citizens of Mississippi counties elect the five members of their county Board of Supervisors from single-member districts, as well as other county officials.
''(See:
List of Mississippi counties)''
Politics
After the
American Civil War Civil War, the mistreatment of Southerners during
Reconstruction by the federally-appointed Republican governors led to considerable resentment toward the
United States Republican Party Republican Party. As a result, Mississippi's state government had a very long unbroken record of single-party dominance. For 116 years (from 1876 to 1992), Mississippians only elected
United States Democratic Party Democratic governors. For most of that time period, Democrats also held the majority of seats in the state legislature (which they still do) not to mention most other elected offices, including the state's federal representation (although some Republicans began to win Congressional elections in the 1970s).
Mississippi is an
Alcoholic beverage control state.

Education
Until the
American Civil War Civil War era, Mississippi had only a small number of schools and no educational institutions for blacks. The first school for blacks was established in
1862, and a system of
public education was started in
1870, but as late as the early 20th century there were few schools in
rural areas. Blacks and whites attended separate
public schools in Mississippi until the 1960s, when they began to be integrated following a 1954
U.S. Supreme Court ruling that racially segregated public schools were
Constitutionality unconstitutional. In the late 1980s, the state had 954 public elementary and
secondary schools, with a total yearly enrollment of about 369,500 elementary pupils and about 132,500 secondary students. Some 45,700 students attended
private schools.
Colleges and universities
Miscellaneous topics
The state takes its name from the
Mississippi River, which flows along the western boundary. The name itself comes from either the
Ojibwe language Ojibwe, a
Native Americans in the United States Native American language spoken around the river's headwaters, or some other closely related
Algonquian language, meaning "great river." Other nicknames attached to Mississippi are the Magnolia State and the Hospitality State.
