heard that about jamaica*
There is truth to the migrational movements from the Carolinas to MS/LA/AL. Most of the white slave owning families that settled in Lower Mississippi and Northern Louisiana were from the Carolinas and most assuredly brought their slaves with them. And most likely still had business ties to the Carolinas and would regularly buy slaves from them so your grandmother is probably right.
I was just reminded of this after hearing a woman retell a story and mention it.
Is there historical truth to this?
Being from Chicago and a son of Mississippi, there is an aggression that black people have in Chicago, that I haven't really seen anywhere else. Chicago nikkas go from 0-100 at the slightest provocation.
I even remember visiting a couple of HBCUs that traditionally get a lot of Chicago folks and finding out 95% of the drama on those campuses were started by Chicago folks.
So is there any evidence that Mississippi got the slaves that nobody wanted?
The saying goes that Virginia and the Carolinas got the 'choice' slaves. And by the time the ships got to Louisiana and Mississippi, the only thing that was left were the rejects.
Breh who told you all of that crazy shyt? You don't want to listen to those fools anymore and on top of that those nikkas don't know anything about US history
First of all Mississippi did not even enter the union until the time of the Louisiana Purchase, which was in 1803. The USA bought Mississippi from France after France lost their war in Haiti. Virginia and Carolina were part of original 13 colonies, with Virginia being a colony in the 1607 and Carolina becoming a colony in 1629 and a different charter was issued in 1712. So Virginia and Carolina were around for almost 200 years, before anyone ever even heard of Mississippi. So tell those nikkas to do some research.
The second thing is that the Black people from Mississippi ancestors are actually from Virginia and the Carolinas. When Mississippi opened up White people needed slaves to work the land so they purchased slaves from the slave owners in Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. That episode in history was called being "Sold down the River." The slaves hated it, because they knew that they were going to be separated from their families on the plantations in the East and they also knew that the slave owners in places like Mississippi were some poor broke ass White trash that could not afford many slaves so they were going to work the few slaves that they could afford to death in order to make a profit. So it was basically a death sentence to be sold into the deep south. Read "Uncle Tom's Cabin" to understand what drove some slaves to run away. They didn't want to be sold into the deep South. Haven't you noticed the broke ass crackas that live in places like Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas? Well now imagine what their broke ass ancestors looked like.
What Black people in Mississippi did face was crushing poverty and violent ass White people. So that is the shytty stuff that they took with them to Chicago during the Great Migration and in some cases some of those folks took to the violence. One final point is that not every person that settled in Chicago was from Mississippi. Some where from Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas and Alabama.
Mississippi was the worst of the slave states If I remember correctly from what I read. Slaves would dread being sent “down south”
Altho it stemmed from them having the most brutal of the cotton industry there

I-55 runs from New Orleans.. Through Jackson. Through Memphis. And ends right in Chicago on I- 57 at Halsted Avenue on the Southside Chicago.. Its a running joke that country nikkas ruined Chicago..
Nah chicago just always been an aggressive ass city
Most Mississippi people i met were chill.
Then again all the cities on that I 55 corridor have higher amounts of griminess than most of the country so you might be on to something.....
Country nikkas did not ruin Chicago. Country nikkas were actually a vital cog in Chicago's industrial revolution. Their migration also led to a shift in political power, which is how African Americans eventually elected as Black Mayors, Representatives, Senators and a Black President.
