Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Educational Legislation in Mississippi From 1798 to 1860 In histories of education in the United States the southwest for the most part has been ignored. The historian sometimes has ascertained a few facts as to the educational history of Virginia and the Carolinas and has generalized from these for his statements as to the history of education in the southern states. The question may well be raised whether the educational history of Virginia and North Carolina applies to the states of Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana with any greater degree of accuracy than the stories of the historical develop ment of New England and New York apply to the states of Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. In the hope that he might supply some definite data toward the answer of this question, the author has undertaken this study of educational legislation in Mississippi prior to the Civil War.
