mississippideltachinese.webs.com/ The Mississippi River Delta, stretching for about 100 miles along the banks of the mighty Mississippi, and extending for about 50 miles from the Arkansas side eastward across the state of Mississippi is one of the richest agricultural regions anywhere. Fortunes were made on cotton plantations where slave labor was employed for decades until they were freed by Lincoln on Jan. 1, 1863.
