	Mississippi (state) - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Mississippi (state)
		The Mississippi Alluvial Plain, often known as the Delta, lies between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers on the western border of the state.
		Mississippi's soils have been badly eroded by flooding, and the reforestation of watershed areas and the conversion of cotton-growing land to pasture are some of the measures taken to improve fertility.
		Mississippi became a state in 1817 and adopted a new constitution in 1832; American Indians were gradually forced to move west as settlement and the competition for land ownership increased.

	Battle of Atlanta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After Johnston's withdrawal following the Battle of Resaca, the two armies clashed again at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, but the Confederate leadership was unhappy with Johnston's reluctance to fight the Union army, even though he had little chance of winning.
		Thus, on July 17, 1864, as he was preparing for the Battle of Peachtree Creek, Johnston was relieved of his command and Hood was given control.
		The army then burned the town to the ground and departed east on what would become known as Sherman's March to the Sea.

	History of the Mississippi River and Tributaries Project
		The Mississippi River levees are designed to protect the alluvial valley against the project flood by confining flow to the leveed channel, except where it enters the natural flwater areas or is diverted purposely into the floodway areas.
		To protect communities along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and to reduce the flood heights to which the controlling levees on the Missouri side would otherwise be subjected, the project provides for a setback levee about 5 miles west of the riverfront levee through this reach.
		The Mississippi River is the main stem of a network of inland navigable waterways which form a system of about 12,350 miles in length, not including the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway of 1,173 miles.

		The prevailing opinion among Northern leaders was that the Union Army would have to defeat the Confederate Army in the field of battle and stop the rebellion.
		Although there were other Confederate armies that would surrender in the following weeks, such as Joseph E. Johnston's in North Carolina, this date was nevertheless symbolic of the end of the bloodiest war in American history, the end of the Confederate States of America, and the beginning of the slow process of Reconstruction.
		Eventually the Union Army was sent in and had to open fire to quell the violence and stop the rioters.

		In late November, 1863, the Confederate Army of Tennessee (which had been the old Army of the Mississippi), was soundly defeated at the Battle of Missionary Ridge near Chattanooga, Tennessee.
		Among the first priorities of General Johnston to re-establish the faltering morale of the Army of Tennessee was the adoption of an army-wide battle flag of the same basic design he had helped create in Virginia in 1861 and which had been contracted for in Mobile while he held command in Mississippi in 1863.
		Several brigades of the army would, therefore, be forced to draw new flags from reinforcements heading their way from Alabama once they arrived.

		On her maiden voyage, the New Orleans was caught in a series of tremors known as the "New Madrid Earthquake," probably the worst nonvolcanic earth shock in American history.
		By 1830, the steamboat age had come to the upper Mississippi, and by 1840, there was heavy river commerce between St. Louis and the head of navigation at St. Anthony's Falls (vicinity of St. Paul).
		The packet continued to be the principal means of transportation in the Mississippi River Valley until the latter part of the nineteenth century; then, more and more of the commerce began to be diverted to the expanding railroads.

	Criticism leads to Parker's ouster - The Clarion-Ledger
		The assistant secretary of the Army, Mississippi's former U.S. Rep. Mike Parker, was forced out Wednesday after he criticized the Bush administration's proposed spending cuts on Army Corps of Engineers' water projects, members of Congress said.
		The administration's budget slashed funding for two flood control projects in the Mississippi Delta, the Yazoo Pumps and the Big Sunflower River Dredging, from a combined $9 million in fiscal 2001-2002 to $565,000 for the 2002-2003 fiscal year, which begins July 1.
		Marty Wiseman, director of the Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University, said Parker's firing is a sign of determination by Bush to rein in pork-barrel spending.

		It comes shortly after an even tougher report by the Army Inspector General, who found that senior Corps officers had manipulated the study to justify massive lock expansions and that the agency has a chronic bias favoring large-scale construction.
		In response to these revelations, President Bush's budget blueprint pledges to "redirect funds away from ongoing [Corps] projects that are not economically justified or are environmentally damaging." The budget also states the administration will consider independent review of Corps projects, a solution we have long advocated.
