Union Summary

MS History

Mississippi is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. It is bordered by Tennessee to the north, Alabama to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the south, and Louisiana and Arkansas to the west. Mississippi was admitted to the Union as the 20th state on December 10, 1817.
The history of Mississippi dates back to the Paleo-Indian period, which began around 12,000 years ago. The first inhabitants of the area were Native American tribes, including the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Natchez. The first Europeans to explore the area were the Spanish, who arrived in the 16th century. The French also explored the area, and in 1798, the United States acquired the region as part of the Louisiana Purchase.
In the early 19th century, Mississippi was a part of the Mississippi Territory, which was created in 1798. The territory was divided into the states of Mississippi and Alabama in 1817. During this time, Mississippi was a slave state, and the economy was largely based on cotton production.
In 1861, Mississippi seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States of America. During the Civil War, Mississippi was the site of several battles, including the Battle of Vicksburg. After the war, Mississippi was readmitted to the Union in 1870.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Mississippi was a largely rural state, and the economy was based on agriculture. In the 1920s, the state began to industrialize, and the economy shifted to manufacturing. During this time, the state also experienced a period of racial violence, as African Americans were denied basic civil rights.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Mississippi was a major site of the civil rights movement. The state was the site of several major civil rights protests, including the Freedom Rides and the March on Washington. In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed, which outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
