HIST 2120 - History of Mississippi

4 Semester Hours
HIST-2120 examines Mississippi’s history through its geography, demography, economy, politics, and culture. The interactions of these categories and their collective impact on contemporary issues in the state are explored at length. Special emphasis is placed on the positions of power that the migration to the state brought to bear among competing indigenous nations, between those nations and white migrants, and the interactions of white and black Mississippians through the institutions of slavery, the process of emancipations, and the struggle for equality.
