The Yazoo River is called the river of death due to it being the burial ground for individuals during the Civil Rights uprising. After being killed the white men would weigh their victims down with cement or bricks so that they would not float up to the top.

How does the formation of a natural levee related to backswamps and yazoo tributaries?

The area behind the levee is characteristically poorly drained for the obvious reason that water can not flow up the levee and into the river. Marshes called backswamps result. A tributary stream can not enter the river because levees block the way. Often it has to flow parallel to the river until it can breach the levee, These are called yazoo tributaries.
