Demographics
Racial makeup:
Until about 1940 African Americans made up a majority of Mississippians. However, this has changed, as Mississippi is now 36.3% black. A few thousand Native Americans (mostly Choctaw) live in the east central section of the state. The small Chinese population found in the Delta is descended from farm laborers brought there from California in the 1870s. The Chinese did not adjust well to the Mississippi plantation system, however, and most of them became small merchants. The coastal fishing industry has attracted Southeast Asian refugees.
The white population of Mississippi is remarkably homogeneous. More than 98 percent native-born, predominantly of Northern European descent, especially British (namely English and Scottish), Irish (including Scotch-Irish), and German. There are also significant French and Italian populations. The black, Choctaw Indian, and Chinese segments of the population are also almost entirely native-born.
Religious makeup:
Mississippi's religious affiliations largely consist of evangelical Christian denominations, particularly Baptists (Southern Baptist, Missionary Baptist, etc.); along with Methodist and Presbyterian. The Roman Catholic population is found primarily in urban areas and on the Gulf Coast. The Jewish population is also mainly concentrated in urban areas.

Mississippi takes its name from the Mississippi River, which flows along the western boundary. The name itself probably comes from Native American words with various spellings that mean "large waters" or "father of the waters." Other nicknames attached to Mississippi are the Magnolia State and the Hospitality State.

EconomicsThe Bureau of Economic Analysis (http://www.bea.gov/) estimates that Mississippi's total state product in 2003 was $72 billion. Per capital personal income in 2003 was $23,466, 51st in the nation (ranking includes the District of Columbia).
Law and government
After the Civil War, perceived mistreatment of Southerners during Reconstruction by the federally-appointed Republican governors led to considerable resentment toward the Republican party. As a result, Mississippi's state government had a very long unbroken record of single-party dominance. For 116 years, from 1876 to 1992 Mississippians only elected Democrat governors. For most of that time period, Democrats also held the majority of seats in the state legislature (which they still do) not to mention most other elected offices, including the state's federal representation (although some Republicans began to win Congressional elections in the 1970s).
