Mississippi

Mississippi or Mississippi is one of fifty states that, together with Washington D. C., form the United States of America. Its capital and most populated city is Jackson. It is located in the South region of the country, Southeast Center division. It limits to the north with Tennessee, to the east with Alabama, to the south with the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana, and to the west with the Mississippi River, which separates it from Louisiana and Arkansas, and the Pearl River that separates it from Louisiana. He was admitted to the Union on December 10,1817, as the 20th state. Mississippi has historically been a state dominated by farms and small towns, and dependent on agriculture and livestock.

Currently, however, it has a relatively diversified economy, with a manufacturing industry and growing tourism. It is considered the poorest state in the country, with relatively high rates of unemployment and poverty, and the lowest per capita income in the country. The name Mississippi comes from a word from the Ojibwa language, which means "great waters" or "father of waters". Some nicknames of Mississippi are State of the Magnolia and State of hospitality. Mississippi was initially colonized by the Spanish, but annexed by the United Kingdom under the terms of the Treaty of Paris. With the independence of the Thirteen Colonies, the Mississippi region became part of the newly created United States of America. The Mississippi Territory was created in 1798, and, like today's Mississippi, was elevated to the status of State on December 10,1817.

Mississippi prospered economically, and was for decades one of the richest states in the country. Mississippi separated from the United States in 1861, joining the Confederate States of America, being one of the states most affected by the American Civil War. The civil war, however, did not end with the latifundian economy or with the grip of both the African-American population and the vast majority of whites without land. This, despite a sustained program of works and subsidies by the nation, prevented the proper development of socioeconomic conditions until after 1960 and its socioeconomic effects can still be seen in the state until today.
