Mississippi

There are 5 states whose western border is (or was) the Mississippi River:

Wisconsin, Illiinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

(*The 5 states across from them are Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The river runs through parts of Minnesota and Louisiana.)

The Monongahala River (i'm not quite sure i spelled that right), and the Allegheny River

The Mississippi River, second-longest in the US, travels through 10 states. There are between 80 and 90 towns and cities of substantial size along its length, depending on how you define them.

Some cities in Mississippi that are located along the River include Vicksburg, Greenville and Natchez.

Other cities are: New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Memphis, Cario, Cape Girardeau, St. Louis, Hannible, Davenport, Dubu ue, La Crosse, St. Paul, Minneapolis, St. Cloud, Bemidji.

OHIO

it goes through the United States of America. (is that what you were wondering?)

Because back in the days when the area was being settled, it became a major shipping and transport lane based in Mississippi, it wasn't known at that time where it began or which states it went through, just that the part most used went through the Mississippi territory

It was the second state on 9 January 1861.

The state of Mississippi, bordered on much of its western edge by the Mississippi River, is heavily forested, although it is also comprised of large delta areas and has nearly 80 miles of coastal area along the Gulf of Mexico. Its total land area amounts to 46,923 square miles.

The Mississippi River varies drastically in depth. One can move any direction 10 feet and see depths increase from 1 foot to 15 feet from the previous location. The main channels are far deeper than the backwaters. The backwaters, although shallow (can be less than 2-3 feet) are good fishing areas. Much of my personal experience is from the upper Mississippi between Iowa and Wisconsin. In these areas, leaving the areas between the buoyed areas in larger boats can result in beaching on shallow areas. Much of the main channel north of Guttenberg, IA to Marquette, IA is 10-25ft in depth. The locks and dams primary purpose on the river is to keep the pool depth above 9ft so that barges can transport goods up the river. Without the locks and dams, some areas would be too shallow for barge passage.

People can fish fishes and then the fish can be sold and it also creates a job

Donald Trump received 6 electoral votes, receiving 700,714 votes to Hillary Clinton's 485,131 votes, winning Mississippi.

St. Louis is where the Missouri River and the Mississippi River meet.

The Nile River, The Amazon River and the Yangtze River are all longer then the Mississippi. The Amazon, Congo. Meghna, Orinoco, Yangtze, Parana, Yenisei-Angara-Selenga, Brahmaputra, Lena and the Madeira-Mamore are all larger then the Mississippi by rate of average discharge.

Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto (c. 1500-1542), French priest Jacques Marquette (1637-1675), and French explorer René-Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle (1643-1687) all explored the Mississippi River area.

The name "Mississippi" comes from the Anishinabe people (Ojibwe Indians). They called the river "Messipi" or "Mee-zee-see-bee," which means "Big River" or "Father of Waters." http://www.experiencemississippiriver.com/?gclid=CPPEyumKiZICFQYOIgodRgRh-g
