Two original brick buildings, three stories in Height, were joined by a third building a few years after their erection, giving the appearance of one large building constructed of three different types of bricks in the federal style of architecture. The east wing was probably built in the 1820s, while the west wing was built in 1838-39. Each wing consists of three and a half stories, and each wing has three dormer windows and a hipped roof. The center section was built some time after 1851, and consists of three stories with a flat roof and a small wooden bell tower. Located behind the main buildings are two smaller m out buildings of similar construction and architecture. rn These buildings consist of two stories and a basement or ground floor. Also located on the campus is the President's House, a wooden two story structure built in the early 19th century. It is not known what alterations from the original design may have been made in the interior of the buildings.

This was the first act of in­ corporation passed by the Legislature. The college was es­ tablished on land donated by John Poster, James Foster, and Randal Gibson. Because of lack of funds, the college could not open its doors to students until January 1, 1811. The u school first operated in the frame buildings of Washington ID Academy, previously located on the campus site. Mississippi's first constitution was written and signed in the Old Methodist Church, established by Lorenzo Dow on the Jefferson College campias, in the summer of 1817. Jefferson College is the birtimiace of Mississippi's statehood Distinguished members of the College's Board of Trus­ LJJ tees were Governors W. C. C. Claiborne, Robert Williams, LJ David Holmes, Walter Leake, and Gedfge Poindexter, Senator Thomas¥/Keed, and General Thomas Hinds. Among^the noted faculty members were John James Auc^dbon and Leonard ^fale, who assist­ ed Samuel F. B. Morse in the development of the telegraph. Jefferson Dav^s was a student at Jefferson College in 1818. Other outstanding Mississippians who were students there in­ cluded Congressman J. F. H. Claiborne, Senator and Governor Albert G, Brown, and distinguished geologist B. L, C. Wailes. It was the desire of the founders that Jefferson College should become a southern West Point. In 1829 military science was added to the course of study. The school, however, never became more than a preparatory school for boys. On February 4, 1807, Aaron Burr was arraigned for treason in a court building which once stood near the giant oak trees that still stand on/the Jefferson College campus. In 1815 General Andrew Jackson visited the college, on his way to Nashville after the Battle of New Orleans. The Marquis de Lafayette may have visited the college when he was a visitor in nearby Natchez in 1825. 1. James, D. Clayton, Antebellum Natchez. (Baton Rouae, La. , LSU Press: 1968) t 23£~2J£. 2.

Over the course of two decades, the United States used treaties to force the indigenous inhabitants, the Choctaw, out of this area by the United States to lands west of the Mississippi River. The United States’ goal in the region was to create a plantation economy in the Mississippi Valley based on the production of short-staple cotton sustained by enslaved African American labor. Focusing on the removal of the Choctaw and the subsequent installation of a plantation regime in the Mississippi Valley, this thesis uses government removal records, treaties, correspondence, and arguments from Groves v.

I certify that Richard Harrison did receive from Oliver Pollock Esq’r. agent for Congress at New Orleans in the years (1776 1777 1778 1779 & 1780) a commission (by authority from Congress or the Governor of Virginia) as a Lieutenant in the army of the United States That he departed from New Orleans in the year 1777 or 1778 (to the best of my recollection) with siveral other officers and a few volunteers with orders to join Col.
