Shipping from the State of Mississippi to Maryland
The Magnolia State of Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state in 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Early inhabitants of the area that became Mississippi included the Choctaw, Natchez and Chickasaw. Spanish explorers arrived in the region in 1540 but it was the French who established the first permanent settlement in present-day Mississippi in 1699.
During the first half of the 19th century, Mississippi was the top cotton producer in the United States, and owners of large plantations depended on the labor of black slaves. Mississippi seceded from the Union in 1861 and suffered greatly during the American Civil War. Despite the abolition of slavery, racial discrimination endured in Mississippi, and the state was a battleground of the Civil Rights Movement in the mid-20th century. In the early 21st century, Mississippi ranked among America’s poorest states.
The state capital is Jackson and it takes the state motto-Virtute et armis (“By valor and arms”).
Shipping to the State of Mississippi to Maryland
Maryland located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the eastern coast of the United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. The largest and commercially important city is Baltimore, and Annapolis is the capital. The state takes occasional nicknames: Old Line State, the Free State, and the Chesapeake Bay State. Maryland was named after the English Queen Henrietta Maria, known in England as Queen Mary.
Maryland gained its statehood on April 28, 1788. The state motto is-Fatti Maschii Parole Femine (“Strong Deeds, Gentle Words”).
Don’t think of its small size only! The small area, compared to other states belies the great variation of its landscapes and nature. Maryland is the leading producer of blue crabs and is renowned for its crab cakes.
