People in Mississippi are very wealthy from what I can gather. And that is in addition to being classy.

Sounds like some sort of utopia.


It is. It dates back to a long tradition of fine families and high-culture. Much of the wealth in early America resided in north Mississippi.

It is misunderstood by much of "the north," I am surprised and dismayed to hear it misunderstood by fellow southerners.

As I understand it, much of the farm help and such stayed with these families for years. There is something to be said for that kind of loyalty.

In modern times, you have people like David Banner who help add to the culture. Count me in as a fan.

It's not wealthy in nearly any other state in America. Mississippi is home of the 30k millionaires.
