This is the Mississippi state category. Mississippi's capital city is Jackson and its postal abbreviation is MS. Mississippi entered the Union as the 20th state, on December 10, 1817. It is the 31st largest state, with an area of 48,286 square miles. Mississippi is located in south central United States, on the Gulf of Mexico. The French claimed the region in 1682, but it passed to Britain after the Seven Years' War. The Territory of Mississippi organized in 1798. The state seceded from the Union in 1861, and it became an important battleground state during the Civil War. Racial segregation remained a factor until the 1960s, when the state was a focus of the civil-rights movement. The land slopes gradually westward from the northeastern hills to the Delta, a fertile plain between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. Pine forests cover most of southern Mississippi as far as the coastal plain. Primarily agricultural, Mississippi is a leading cotton-producing state.
