The history of what is now Alabama stems back thousands of years ago when it was inhabited by indigenous peoples. The Woodland period spanned from around 1000 BCE to 1000 CE and was marked by the development of the Eastern Agricultural Complex. This was followed by the Mississippian culture of Native Americans,which lasted to around the 1600 CE. The first Europeans to make contact with Alabama were the Spanish,with the first permanent European settlement being Mobile,established by the French in 1702.

The flags of the U.S. states,territories,and the District of Columbia exhibit a variety of regional influences and local histories,as well as different styles and design principles. Modern U.S. state flags date from the turn of the 20th century,when states considered distinctive symbols for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago,Illinois. Most U.S. state flags were designed and adopted between 1893 and World War I.
The flag of Mississippi consists of a white magnolia blossom surrounded by 21 stars and the words "In God We Trust" written below,all put over a blue Canadian pale with two vertical gold borders on a red field. The topmost star is composed of a pattern of five diamonds,an Indigenous symbol;the other 20 stars are white,as Mississippi was the 20th state to join the Union. The flag was adopted on January 11,2021.
The Mississippi Plan of 1874–1875 was developed by white Southern Democrats as part of the white insurgency during the Reconstruction era in the Southern United States. It was devised by the Democratic Party in that state to overthrow the Republican Party in Mississippi by means of organized threats of violence and voter suppression against African American citizens and white Republican supporters. Democrats sought to regain political control of the state legislature and governor's office 'peaceably if we can,forcibly if we must.' Their justifications were articulated on a basis of discontent with governor Adelbert Ames' Republican administration,including spurious charges of corruption and high taxes. However,the violence that followed was centred on the desire to return white supremacy to the state. The success of the campaign led to similar plans being adopted by white Democrats in South Carolina and other majority-black states across the South.
John Roy Lynch was an American writer,attorney,military officer,author,and Republican politician who served as Speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives and represented Mississippi in the United States House of Representatives.
The history of the state of Mississippi extends back to thousands of years of indigenous peoples. Evidence of their cultures has been found largely through archeological excavations,as well as existing remains of earthwork mounds built thousands of years ago. Native American traditions were kept through oral histories;with Europeans recording the accounts of historic peoples they encountered. Since the late 20th century,there have been increased studies of the Native American tribes and reliance on their oral histories to document their cultures. Their accounts have been correlated with evidence of natural events.
The 1912–13 United States Senate elections were held on various dates in various states. They were the last U.S. Senate elections before the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913,establishing direct elections for all Senate seats. Senators had been primarily chosen by state legislatures. Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1912 and 1913,and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due to legislative deadlock. Some states elected their senators directly even before passage of Seventeenth Amendment. Oregon pioneered direct election and experimented with different measures over several years until it succeeded in 1907. Soon after,Nebraska followed suit and laid the foundation for other states to adopt measures reflecting the people's will. By 1912,as many as 29 states elected senators either as nominees of their party's primary or in conjunction with a general election.
