Mississippi’s foundational epoch—in which the state literally
took shape—has for too long remained overlooked and shrouded in
misunderstanding. Yet the years between 1798, when the Mississippi
Territory was created, and 1840, when the maturing state came into
its own as arguably the heart of the antebellum South, was one of
remarkable transformation. Beginning as a Native American homeland
subject to contested claims by European colonial powers, the state
became a thoroughly American entity in the span of little more than
a generation. In Old Southwest to Old South: Mississippi,
1798–1840, authors Mike Bunn and Clay Williams tell the story of
Mississippi’s founding era in a sweeping narrative that gives
these crucial years the attention they deserve. Several key themes,
addressing how and why the state developed as it did, rise to the
forefront in the book’s pages. These include a veritable list of
the major issues in Mississippi history: a sudden influx of
American settlers, the harsh saga of Removal, the pivotal role of
the institution of slavery, and the consequences of heavy reliance
on cotton production. The book bears witness to Mississippi’s
birth as the twentieth state in the Union, and it introduces a cast
of colorful characters and events that demand further attention
from those interested in the state’s past. A story of relevance
to all Mississippians, Old Southwest to Old South explains how
Mississippi’s early development shaped the state and continues to
define it today.
