Mississippi main article

There's a lot more information than this in the history section of the Missisippi article. If that needs to be separated from the main article, at least include everything that's currently there... If not, merge this article into it. --Alynna 02:28, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

redirected

I have again redirected this article to Mississippi. If you are g0ing to replace the redirect with an article, please include at least as much information as already exists at Mississippi in the History section. --Alynna 01:54, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

and again.

Yes, I am aware that there are other states with history articles. I would love to see a good history article on Mississippi. Someday, I am sure one will be written. But when it is written, it needs to contain at least as much information as is currently in the history section of the Mississippi article. Otherwise, there is no point in having a separate article. Right now, if someone wants to find information on the history of Mississippi, they will find more of it at Mississippi than in the small amount of information placed here. Please stop reverting this article, and do not replace the redirect until you have enough information to make this a better source of Mississippi history than Mississippi. --Alynna 17:28, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

The article now has a good bibliography. I will work on text later Rjensen 02:04, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification needed

During the reconstruction topic of this page, the following text occurs:

"After the defeat of the Confederacy, President Andrew Johnson appointed a temporary government that repealed secession, ratified the 13th Amendment..."

However, the 13th amendment page (and later on in this page) states that Mississippi did not ratify this amendment until 1995. Could someone please clarify the conflicting statement so that it no longer seems to be an inconsistency?Ricree101 09:19, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the following text from the reconstruction section: ", ratified the 13th Amendment,". All sources I could find suggest that Mississippi did not ratify the 13th amendment until long after reconstruction, so this seems to be incorrect. I posted here in January 2007 about the seeming inconsistency with no answer or change, so as far as I can see the article was simply wrong. If this is not the case, then please explain the contradiction when you reinsert the text.Ricree101 (talk) 22:15, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-colonization period

My dear immigrants, don't you think that 10000 or so years that this area has been inhabited prior to arrival of your ancestors warrants more than two short, superficial paragraphs? --bonzi (talk) 08:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

State Capital history

This page contains a lot of neat information about the location of the state's capital and its history. If anyone wants to add this is, that'd be cool.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 01:38, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2 Problems

1. The colonial history section is lacking immensely. What happened during the French and Indian War? Were there ANY English settlers then? What about during the Revolution? 2. The whole idea that planters were largely deistic or atheistic is a fallacy. Especially frontiersmen were more religious than most. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.178.249 (talk) 03:30, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of Mississippi

Any interest in creating a Timeline of Mississippi article? A few other U.S. states have timelines (see Category:Timelines of states of the United States). Here are some sources:
