Nicholson 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 has a rich and diverse history that dates back to the early Native American tribes that inhabited the area. The first Europeans to explore the region were the Spanish, who arrived in the 16th century. The French then established a colony in the area in the 17th century, and the British took control of the region in the 18th century. Mississippi became part of the United States in 1817, and it was the 20th state to join the Union.
Mississippi has a long and complicated history of racial tension and civil rights struggles. The state was a major center of the slave trade in the antebellum period, and it was the site of some of the most violent episodes of the Civil War. After the war, Mississippi was the first state to ratify the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery. However, the state also enacted a number of laws that were designed to keep African Americans from exercising their rights as citizens. This included the infamous Jim Crow laws, which were in effect until the mid-1960s. During this time, Mississippi was also the site of some of the most significant civil rights struggles in the nation, including the Freedom Rides and the 1964 Freedom Summer.
In the late 20th century, Mississippi began to make strides in civil rights and racial equality. The state elected its first African American governor in 1999, and it has since become a leader in civil rights legislation. Mississippi has also become a major center of the music industry, with a thriving blues and gospel scene.
