Yazoo People
The Yazoo were a tribe of the Native American Tunica people historically located along the lower course of the Yazoo River in an area known as the Mississippi Delta. They were closely related to other Tunica language–speaking peoples, especially the Tunica, Koroa, and possibly the Tioux. Language Nothing is definitely known about their language, believed to be related to Tunica, a language isolate. History 17th century French explorers and missionaries documented the tribe. In 1699, Father Antoine Davion of the Quebec Seminary of Foreign Missions in New France (Canada) established a mission among the Tunica. 18th century At this time, the Yazoo, like the Chickasaw, were under the influence of the English traders from Carolina on the Atlantic coast. In 1702, the Yazoo aided the Koroa in killing the French priest Nicholas Foucault and his three companions. The seminary temporarily withdrew Fr Antoine from the area. In 1718, the French established a fort nea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yazoo River
The Yazoo River is a river primarily in the U.S. state of Mississippi. It is considered by some to mark the southern boundary of what is called the Mississippi Delta, a broad floodplain that was cultivated for cotton plantations before the American Civil War. It has continued to be devoted to large-scale agriculture. History The Yazoo River was named by French explorer La Salle in 1682 as "Rivière des Yazous" in reference to the Yazoo tribe living near the river's mouth at its confluence with the Mississippi. The exact meaning of the term is unclear. One long held belief is that it means "river of death". The river is 188 miles (303 km) long and is formed by the confluence of the Tallahatchie and the Yalobusha rivers, where modern Greenwood developed. The river parallels the Mississippi River in the latter's floodplain for some distance before joining it north of Vicksburg, Mississippi. Natural levees which flank the Mississippi prevent the Yazoo from joining it be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Yazoo Darter
The Yazoo darter (''Etheostoma raneyi'') is a species of freshwater ray-finned fish, a darter from the subfamily Etheostomatinae, part of the family Percidae, which also contains the perches, ruffes and pikeperches. It is endemic to north-central Mississippi in the United States, where it is found only in tributaries of the Little Tallahatchie River. Description Yazoo darters grow up to standard length. Males are slightly larger than females and are brightly colored when breeding.

Its range encompasses headwater streams in the Little Tallahatchie River's watershed, including the Tippah River and Cypress Creek. The range includes Benton, Lafayette, Marshall, Tate, Tippah, and Union counties and parts of Holly Springs National Forest.

Yazoo Land Scandal
The Yazoo land scandal, Yazoo fraud, Yazoo land fraud, or Yazoo land controversy was a massive real-estate fraud perpetrated, in the mid-1790s, by Georgia governor George Mathews and the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia politicians sold large tracts of territory in the Yazoo lands, in what are now portions of the present-day states of Alabama and Mississippi, to political insiders at very low prices in 1794. Although the law enabling the sales was overturned by reformers the following year, its ability to do so was challenged in the courts, eventually reaching the US Supreme Court. In the landmark decision in '' Fletcher v. Peck'' (1810), the Court ruled that the contracts were binding and the state could not retroactively invalidate the earlier land sales. It was one of the first times the Supreme Court had overturned a state law, and it justified many claims for those lands. Some of the land sold by the state in 1794 had been shortly thereafter resold to innocent third part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
