When cotton was king - and slavery was as yet
unchallenged - MISSISSIPPI was the nation's fifth wealthiest state. Since
the Civil War, however, it has been the poorest, its dependence on cotton
now a handicap that makes it victim to the vagaries of the commodities
market. Widespread poverty has long endured alongside pockets of enormous
riches, and white Mississippi was notorious for violent resistance to
black political participation.
While the major city is the capital,
Jackson, historic river towns like
Vicksburg and
Natchez provide good reasons to stay off the interstates,
and blues fans will need no encouragement to go exploring sleepy Delta
settlements such as Alligator or Yazoo City. |
