| | As one of the top cotton-producing states in the U.S., Mississippi also has the dubious distinction of having had more [[Lynching|lynchings]] in the decades after the [[American Civil War]] than any other U.S. state. Most victims were black (539 of a total of 581), reflecting the large population of former African American slaves living in the state and their difficulty in assimilating into society after being freed from slavery. |
