Mississippi ratified the amendment in 1995 — or at least they thought they did.

An associate professor from the University of Mississippi Medical Center has uncovered what is quite possibly the grandaddy of all oversights. Even though the Thirteenth Amendment was adopted 148 years ago, the state of Mississippi never officially ratified the amendment on account of some sloppy paperwork. It's an oversight that has since been corrected, making it really and truly official: slavery is indeed illegal in that state.

I haven't seen much of it the last time I visited for what it's worth. It is still a very 1950's feel to it with some racial tension in certain parts.

Don't see them at all. It isn't *that* bad, they're just behind a bit that's all. Lots of poor areas with blacks due to welfare system and stereotypes on both ends. For example white people are "white folk" with a lot of money, lol.
