Jackson Mississippi

Located in Jackson, Mississippi, north of the Mississippi River, Outlets of Mississippi is the state's largest outlet shopping center. The headquarters of the world was founded in 1918 at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, but is now located at the University of Missouri - Columbia in St. Louis, MO. This rivalry in college football, which dates back to 1903, has existed for over 100 years and has a total audience of over 1.5 million.

The city, named after Andrew Jackson, was established as the seat of the state government after being chosen for its proximity to the Mississippi and its natural beauty. The newly built rail system is also important, but it is all about Jackson. Jackson is located on a major river and rail line and has seen an increase in the number of wounded and sick soldiers being sent home from the front lines.

If the state government does not return before the end of the war, it will be occupied by federal troops and the city will become almost a no man's land. Federal troops occupied Jackson for several months before state governors and legislatures returned. After Pettus' part in government returned when the Federals moved west to Vicksburg, the formal seat of state governments returned to Jackson. If the state capital could be seized at any time, it would show that Confederate resistance is crumbling and that they can march anywhere in the state and march to any state they want.

Salter knew that the state was a tinderbox when he first came to Mississippi in 1961, but no one was safer in Mississippi than those who brought about change and those who brought it about.

One of them, Gen. James B. McPherson, captured Jackson on May 14 and drove to Vicksburg, Mississippi, the capital of the Confederate States of America. He quickly decided to neutralize Jackson to protect his back when he finally arrived at Vickersburg.

A small federal force, including a black cavalry regiment of former slaves, returned to destroy mainly the railroad bridges that the Confederates had rebuilt across the Pearl River. Corinth was conquered in May 1862, and in the summer the Union Navy had appeared at Vicksburg on the Mississippi, but the Federals had withdrawn in May 1863. After their destruction was completed, they returned to Jackson on May 18, 1863, to ensure that no Confederate confederate assembled threatened their prize, which was now captured at Vickersburg.

Jackson, who was in a Confederate federal - occupied - region, saw frequent action throughout the rest of the war and was indeed captured four more times. Although the federal forces began invading the state in mid-1862, no fighting took place in Jackson until the summer of 1863. Confederate troops withdrew from Canton northeast of Jackson, but Jackson was abandoned.

Governor Pettus removed the treasure archives from the various departments of the state and sent them to the East, to Meridian and even to Alabama. General U.S. Grant decided to neutralize Jackson to protect his back when he finally went to Vicksburg, but Jackson was in great danger if he moved forward. After his failed attempt to reach Vickburg in the summer of 1863, General Grant moved his army from Tennessee across the Mississippi south of Vickingburg to the north, with the intention of disrupting the railroad link between Jackson and Vickersburg.

During the Civil War, the Battle of Jackson was fought on the way to Vicksburg, but the Union Army spared all the city's non-strategic buildings, including the City Hall, governor's residence, and capital. Lawmakers also decided to name the city after General Andrew Jackson, who became a national hero after defeating the British forces. Just because the war had not yet been fought near Jackson did not mean that the effects were not felt there.

Downtown Jackson is located on Interstate 55, which runs north to south and east to west, with the Mississippi River being the main source of traffic in the city. Downtown Jackson is located at the intersection of Interstate 65, a north-south highway, and I-55, the state's main thoroughfare.

New Orleans, LA is about 190 miles south of Jackson, Atlanta, GA is about 320 miles east, Memphis, TN is about 210 miles north and Dallas, TX is about 300 miles west of us.

Jackson is served by Jackson-Evers International Airport, and Amtrak and the city of New Orleans offer connections to Chicago and New York City via Jackson Union Station. Amtrak in Chicago, New Jersey, offers a service from Jackson to the airport with stops in Jackson and Chicago.

Pizza Shack is modest, but a good locally owned restaurant in the heart of the city and one of only a handful of good restaurants in Mississippi. Pizza Shack is an excellent, good - for you, locals and best - of all - the best, locally owned restaurant, albeit very modest, in the heart of a city.
