The
"Magnolia State" of the US. Originally
part of America's Old Southwest, Mississippi became the 20th state
of the Union in 1817. Its name has long been identified with many of
the characteristics attributed, correctly or incorrectly, to the
Deep South, but since the 1960s the state has been engaged in
efforts to alter the economic and social patterns of the past.
Jackson is the state capital. The name is derived from an Indian
word meaning “great waters” or “father of waters.”
