Shelby Mississippi Case Study

In Bolivar County, Mississippi, stands Mound Bayou, one of the first black towns in the U.S. It is located twenty-eight miles southwest of Clarksdale, Mississippi. It was founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery and his cousin Benjamin T. Green. Both Montgomery and Green were former slaves. They both were formerly owned by Joseph Emory Davis, a lawyer turned successful planter & the older brother/mentor to Jefferson Davis, the former President of Confederacy. The town is a national significance because it represented many towns established by African American who moved from the South to the North after slavery.

The ways and reasons in which the slave trade in colonial Charleston, South Carolina was so relevant are surprisingly interesting. The slave trade was important economically and capitalistically speaking: the economy highly depended on the slave trade and was literally dominated by it in some states. Besides the economy, other reasons of its importance were implied in politics and business: what made it really big in Charleston and in South Carolina in general was that slaves ended constituting the majority which means that slavery was focussed much more in this state than in any other one. Another reason we can mention why the slave market was so alive in South Carolina and also well present in other states and islands is because whites

The south for a good while was always fond of using slavery as a cheap source of work. The increase in the number of slaves was when John Rolfe became one of the first to cultivate tobacco in the so called “New World back then in the 17th century. There was good money to be made about the amount of labor that went into the tobacco cultivation was harch, hence why slaves were used. Ever since then, it is obvious to note that slaves dominated the aspect of southern life. Whether that be economically, socially or politically, slaves played an important role in each category.

Throughout the 1800’s, slavery was a very widespread and common thing in all of the United States. In Tennessee, though, there was a large amount involvement in slavery. Almost all the African Americans living in Tennessee were slaves, and about ¼ of all people living in Tennessee were slaves. Throughout the entire state of Tennessee there were more than 275,000 slaves, and they made up ¼ (25%) of the population. 25% of white families owned slaves, and while these families made a large portion of the population, most families owned a small number of slaves. There was one person in Tennessee who owned more than 300 slaves, 47 people owned more than 100 slaves, and more than ¾ of all slave masters held less than 10 slaves.

State of Mississippi, 2010). This legislation did not create a new law in this state, but it did amend a law, which was already in effect, and increased the punishment for a violation of this statute. This legislation also made it easier to sign charges against a person, who has passed a stopped school bus, even if the only identifying information is the vehicle’s tag number (Miss. Code, 1972). This legislation was introduced, and passed due to the incident mentioned, which occurred in December of 2009, in Jones County Mississippi. The next legislative action, named in honor of a crime victim, was passed in

Memphis suffers from every social problem at one time and in one place. One of Memphis’s biggest social problems are its ethnic tension. Ethnic tension can be seen in every aspect of life when living in Memphis. Neighborhoods, schools, restaurants, even places of worship, are few of the many places where one could note a distinct and purposeful separation between ethnic groups of people. Even with clear ethnic tension, Memphians and local organizations attempt to remove the unnecessary tension. A prime example of a community in Memphis tackling ethnic tension would be the Midtown( Cooper- Young) area. This area annually houses festivals, art events, even sport events all intended to unite the community, and it does a fairly good job of this. Speaking from experience, the Cooper-Young festival and the Southern Heritage Classic have allowed me to meet people I would typically not have the opportunity to meet. Memphis’s strides destroying the status quo of its southern heritage are not its only

Pontotoc County in Mississippi is the community I live in. I work at South Pontotoc Elementary School for the past nine years. There are many different demographics with the school system in my area.

In addition to tobacco plantations, the 1860 manufacturing census lists seven different industries in Stafford County: blacksmithing, cooperage (barrel making), cotton goods, fisheries, flower and meal, gold mining, and lumber. Of those seven, flower and meal had ten established mills, and the annual value of the products

New Orleans at the time was the largest city in the South. The trade with the plantations along the river combined with the trade with Europe was making the citizens of the city very wealthy.

In Tennessee, there are many wonderful communities to live in. The focus of this assessment is Hendersonville, Tennessee. This community is one I am the most familiar with since I have lived there for almost twenty years. I have seen this community change and grow throughout the years. The demographics of this community along with its infrastructure have changed a lot over the years. There are many good aspects of this community and many things that can be improved. As shown, there are multiple aspects of a community to take into consideration.

The topic of good and evil first arose in the book of Genesis and whether an act is good or evil is still contentious in today’s society. An individual’s perception of what is good and evil is always subjective, as it will have been shaped by religious beliefs and cultural influences. Despite the differing views that arise, good and evil are polar opposites and have been symbolised as being dualistic, such as the battle between light and dark or God and the Devil. Burning Mississippi, 1988, a film based around a FBI investigation into the murders of three civil rights workers in the U.S. state of Mississippi in 1964, clearly demonstrates how the line between good and evil is in fact permeable and, depending on the situational pressures, that almost

Obviously, a key part of understanding how cotton came to play such a pivotal role in growing the city of Memphis in the Antebellum south is to provide information about the area that made it highly sought after before there was a cotton industry. Before introducing cotton into the exhibit, focus should be placed on demonstrating to museum go-ers that the area held great importance to the early peoples who lived there and caused much conflict in the early to mid-seventeen hundreds, especially. The struggle for the land on the Fourth Bluff was a continuous
