SUMMARY:Spanish Dons in Colonial Mississippi: The Spanish roots of Mississippi’s Cotton Kingdom by Dr. Christian Pinnen
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Christian Pinnen will present Spanish Dons in Colonial Mississippi: The Spanish roots of Mississippi’s Cotton Kingdom on Thursday\, April 16 at 12 noon at the downtown branch of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System. \nSpain has a short\, but important part in Mississippi’s history. Between 1779 and 1798\, Spanish administrators sought to wrangle profits and people in small outpost\, most prominently Natchez\, along the Mississippi River. Enforcing Spanish laws and customs in a polyglot and largely Anglo-American population proved treacherous and created economic and social dynamics that gave rise to more than one chaotic episode as people tried to gain influence and power along the Mississippi.​ \nDr. Pinnen is a Professor in the Department of History and Political Science at Mississippi College. He has published two books in 2021: Complexion of Empire in Natchez and Colonial Mississippi. He is the recipient of the 2019 Humanities Teacher of the Year award. \nThis program is sponsored by the Mississippi Humanities Council Speaker’s Bureau. \nFor more information\, call the CLPLS at 662-329-5300.

SUMMARY:Civil War Era Mississippians Debate America’s Founding Principles by Dr. Susannah J. Ural
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Susannah J. Ural will open the traveling exhibit Freedom: A History of US with her talk Civil War Era Mississippians Debate America’s Founding Principles on Tuesday\, April 7 at 12 noon at the downtown branch of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library System. \nThe Civil War & Reconstruction Governors of Mississippi (CWRGM) project is a collection of the state’s governors’ papers that help us understand how Mississippians of all backgrounds debated the founding principles that the Civil War tested. They also show how state leaders interpreted and explained the rights that the Constitution and Declaration of Independence celebrated and protected. In this presentation\, Dr. Ural\, the Frank and Virginia Williams Chair for Abraham Lincoln & Civil War Studies at Mississippi State University and Co-Director of CWRGM\, will share documents from the collection to help audience members understand how Mississippians remembered and fought over the nation’s founding traditions during the Civil War and Reconstruction. \nLaunched in 2019\, the CWRGM has made nearly 14\,000 of the 20\,000 state governors’ papers freely available online with digitized original documents\, transcriptions\, annotations\, lesson plans\, and more. \nThis program is sponsored by a Mississippi Humanities Council America250 Grant. \nFor more information\, call the CLPLS at 662-329-5300.
