Gold & Silver Buyers in Jackson, Mississippi

Mississippi became the 20th U.S. state on December 10, 1817, originally part of the Mississippi Territory established in 1798, which was divided in 1817 to create Mississippi and Alabama. Its early economy was dominated by cotton plantations relying heavily on enslaved African American labor, with slavery deeply embedded in its social and political fabric. Native American tribes such as the Choctaw and Chickasaw were forcibly removed through treaties and the Indian Removal Act. Mississippi seceded from the Union in January 1861, joining the Confederacy during the Civil War, which devastated its land and economy. Post-war Reconstruction and the struggle over civil rights shaped its complex history. The capital has been Jackson since 1822
