How do you define Mississippi?
In
your post, identify your thesis and the sources you used to prove your
argument. Discuss how you came to define Mississippi and what
conclusions you made about the state. Make sure to point out the general
areas of History that you discuss and what events, people, or ideas
were especially important to your interpretation of Mississippi History.
What readings, from Bond, Busbee, or another source you found,
profoundly influenced your view of the state? Overall, has your view of
Mississippi changed or mostly stayed the same? What can we learn about
Mississippi today from your paper? Is Mississippi as a "closed society"
(Silver, 1964) an accurate way to look at the state? Has this been true
at some point in the past, but is no longer true? What time period is
most crucial to understanding Mississippi and best defines it?
Some examples of different periods in Mississippi History are:
pre-European Mississippi
colonial Mississippi
territorial Mississippi
antebellum Mississippi
Civil War/Reconstruction Mississippi
Jim Crow Mississippi
Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement
