Mississippi
(IPA: /ˌmɪsəˈsɪpi/) is a state located in the Deep South of the
United States. Jackson is the state capital and largest city.
The state's name comes from the Mississippi River, which flows
along its western boundary, and takes its name from the Ojibwe
word misi-ziibi ("Great River"). The state is heavily forested,
and produces a majority of American catfish.[2] Mississippi is
also known for its state symbol, the Magnolia.
