STATEMENT OF HISTORIC CONTEXTS The multiple property nomination for Copiah County, Mississippi, is based on three historic contexts: the Plantation Era, 1823-1865; Development from the Post-Bellum Period to the End of World War II, 1866-1945; and Development of Copiah County's Towns, 1823-1945. I. THE PLANTATION ERA IN COPIAH COUNTY, 1823-1865 copiah County is a rural county located in southwest central Mississippi. The county is about 37 miles in length and about 24 miles in width, with a land area of 779 square miles. The county is bounded on the north by Hinds County, on the east by Simpson County, on the south by Lincoln and Lawrence Counties, and on the west by Jefferson and Claiborne Counties. The Pearl River forms its eastern boundary. The county is blessed with an abundance of running streams, creeks and bayous. The Pearl River is an extremely winding river too shallow at normal level for navigation; however, until the early twentieth century it was reported to be navigable for about six months of the year. The Little Bahala Creek rises from springs about three miles east of Hazlehurst and flows southeast to form the Big Bahala Creek, which drains the entire southeastern portion of the county and flows into the Pearl River. Copiah Creek rises southeast of Gallman, flows east and empties into the Pearl River south of Georgetown. Bayou Pierre, a sluggish stream flowing northwesterly through copiah into Claiborne County and eventually into the Mississippi River, drains a great portion of the western half of the county. The bottom lands along Bayou Pierre are the county's most extensive swamp lands. Several lesser creeks drain the bottom lands (Sartin: 6-7; Rowland, Mississippi I: 565). The general topography of Copiah County, except in the Pearl River bottom, is gently rolling. The Pearl River bottom and other small tracts of land along Bayou Pierre, Copiah, Bailey and other streams afford valleys of exceedingly fertile soil. The county historically had a considerable timber growth, consisting of pine, red post and white oak, hickory, elm, maple, poplar, gum and cypress. The most valuable of these were the long-leaf pine, which were extensively logged. Copiah County has a variety of fine sandy loam soil types suitable to the growing of vegetables and fruits as well as to such staples as cotton and corn (Sartin:1, 8; Rowland, Mississippi 1:565).

This treaty opened a large area along the Mississippi, Yazoo, Big Black, and Pearl rivers to white settlement, and in the 1820s this was the fastest-developing area of the state. By 1830 the white population in this region was almost as large as that of the Natchez District, and the plantation system with its accompanying slave system was developing (Fortune: 252). Within the next sixteen years, nine counties were established from this area: Hinds, Simpson, Copiah, Rankin, Madison, Bolivar, Yazoo, Washington, and Holmes. Copiah County was established on January 21, 1823, being created out of Hinds County by an Act of the Mississippi Legislature. It was the eighteenth Mississippi county to be organized and was established just five years after Mississippi was admitted to the Union. Copiah County was originally larger than at present. In 1824 simpson County was formed from that portion of Copiah County lying east of the Pearl River, and in 1870 a strip of copiah's southern territory was given to Lincoln County. There are several versions of the derivation of the county's name,but the most widely accepted is that copiah derives its name from the Indian word "Kai Paya," meaning calling panther (Sartin: 12-13; Rowland, Mississippi I: 563). Along with the Pearl River, the county has a good number of running streams, creeks and bayous, and some of the earliest settlements of the county were located along these waterways. originally loca·ted on the Pearl River, Georgetown was one of the earliest settlements in the county, but in 1909, when the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad came through the county, the town was moved about one mile to the west along the rail line. When the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad came through the county in 1858, new towns sprang up along the rail line. Beauregard, Gallman, and Hazlehurst were founded in 1858 along the rail line, while Crystal Springs, which was established much earlier in 1825, was moved two miles east to the site of the rail line in 1857. Ea rly settlers carne from Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, as well as from the southern counties of Mississippi.

Baker The ongoing public and scholarly discussions about many Americans’ widespread ambivalence toward the nation’s relationship to slavery and persistent racial discrimination have connected pundits and observers from an array of fields and institutions. As the authors of Brown University’s report on slavery and justice suggest, however, there is an increasing recognition that universities and colleges must provide the leadership for efforts to increase understanding of the connections between state institutions of higher learning and slavery.1 To participate in this vital process the University of Mississippi needs a foundation of research about the school’s own participation in slavery and racial injustice. The visible legacies of the school’s Confederate past are plenty, including monuments, statues, building names, and even a cemetery.

  • The Domestic Slave Trade
    Lesson Plan: The Domestic Slave Trade Intended Audience Students in Grades 8-12 Background The importation of slaves to the United States from foreign countries was outlawed by the Act of March 2, 1807. After January 1, 1808, it was illegal to import slaves; however, the domestic slave trade thrived within the United States. With the rise of cotton in the Deep South slaves were moved and traded from state to state. Slaves were treated as commodities and listed as such on ship manifests as cargo. Slave manifests included such information as slaves’ names, ages, heights, sex and “class”. This lesson introduces students to the domestic slave trade between the states by analyzing slave manifest records of ships coming and going through the port of New Orleans, Louisiana. The Documents Slave Manifest of the Brig Algerine, March 25, 1826; Slave Manifests, 1817-1856 and 1860-1861 (E. 1630); Records of the U.S. Customs Service—New Orleans, Record Group 36; National Archives at Fort Worth.

In spite of the peace treaty’s provisions, she con- tinued to occupy military posts ceded to the United States. Using these posts as centers, Canadian traders continued to monopolize most of the Indian commerce north of the Ohio, and the Indians in this vast region still looked to Detroit, Niagara, and Quebec, rather than to New York, Pittsburgh, or Philadelphia for com- mercial and political leadership.
