You can\u2019t kick a rock in Mississippi without hitting something<\/em> of historical significance.
\nHome of Vicksburg National Military Park, Mississippi was the second state to leave the Union and was instrumental in forming the Confederacy. This is one of the reasons that rebel pride is still so prevalent today.
\nHowever, after the war ended, the oh-so patriotic residents of Columbus, Miss. honored troops from both sides, which eventually evolved into the Memorial Day that we celebrate today.<\/p>\n2. Mississippians Let Their Confederate Flag Fly<\/h2>\n

The Confederate flag is a common sight in Mississippi. People sport it proudly on their T-shirts, fly flags from their porches, and even put bumper stickers of it on their cars.
\nTo out-of-towners, this often seems a bit off-color, but any Mississippian will tell you that the reason they keep it around is solely for the sake of preserving their heritage.<\/p>\n
3. Mississippians Exclaim, \u201cOh The Humidity!\u201d On A Regular Basis<\/h2>\n
![\"26](\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/citybuzz\/2014\/07\/mississippi-moveto\/mississippi-moveto-15.jpg\")
\nMississippi, home of hot, humid nights. The summers are long here and the winters\u2014well they hardly ever show up. Average temperatures in the summer are around 81 degrees Fahrenheit with winter months in the mid-40s.
\nWhile the humidity is not for wimps, as locals will tell you it\u2019s nothing a glass of Mississippi Punch won\u2019t help. That\u2019s cognac, bourbon, dark rum, and lemon juice, in case you were wonderin\u2019.<\/p>\n

Because Mississippi doesn\u2019t have any pro teams of their own, sports fans often struggle to pick a favorite. Usually fans end up rooting for a team from a nearby state. For example, NFL fans in Mississippi usually place their alliance with the New Orleans Saints. If it\u2019s not them, they\u2019ll cheer for the Tennessee Titans or Atlanta Falcons.
\nBut who really cares about the NFL, when you\u2019ve got college<\/em> football\u2026<\/p>\n5. Win The Golden Egg, Or Leave With Egg On Your Face<\/h2>\n

One of the longest standing rivalries in college football is that of the Mississippi Bulldogs and the Ole Miss Rebels. Every Mississippian knows what side they\u2019re on and is willing to fight for their team.
\nThe only real way to resolve the argument over which team is superior is who wins The Egg Bowl and leaves the game triumphantly with the The Golden Egg. Well it ends the argument for a year, anyway.<\/p>\n
6. Holy Moly! Mississippi Is Super Religious<\/h2>\n

Religion plays a huge role in lives of folks in Mississippi\u2014in fact 61 percent of Mississippians polled consider themselves to be \u201cvery religious.\u201d This state is home to one of the largest Baptist populations in the world and<\/em> it’s also home to the largest Bible-binding plant in the country, the Norris Bookbinding Company. So yeah, the people of The Magnolia State are definitely feeling the spirit.<\/p>\n7. Hope You\u2019a Fixin\u2019 Ta Learn Fo\u2019ra New Accent<\/h2>\n

\nMississippi is just about as \u201cSouthern\u201d as it gets\u2014especially when it comes to they speak. You see, Mississippians are have that oh-so sweet southern drawl that is frequently imitated, but rarely ever done well.
\nNow, keep in mind that the different areas of Mississippi don\u2019t all sound the same, but there seems to be a common theme. The first step to drop the \u201cg\u201d from \u201c-ing.\u201d Next, you drop the \u201cr\u201d from conjunctions like \u201cthey\u2019re\u201d so that they now sound like \u201cthey.\u201d And last, the \u201co\u201d is a weird letter, but usually it\u2019s long, like the \u201co\u201d in \u201cbowl.\u201d<\/p>\n
8. Mississippians Are Hooked On Fishing<\/h2>\n

A Mississippian loves their shotgun almost<\/em> as much as they love their Bible, and they love their camo almost as much as they love their rebel flags.
\nThis is a state full of hunters\u2014and if someone\u2019s not a hunter, chances are they\u2019re still a great shot. This is no doubt thanks to the massive amount of wildlife in the state which makes it a great place to hunt everything from deer, to wild hogs, to gators.
\nDirectly related, Mississippians are also great at having huge cookouts.<\/p>\n10. In Mississippi Catfish Is Purr-fect For Any Meal<\/h2>\n

Speaking of things that the world should be grateful for, while Coke wasn\u2019t invented in Mississippi, Biedenharn Candy Company was the first place where it was bottled.

This local delicacy is similar to a hamburger, except instead of being made of just beef, soybean grits are added as well. Instead of being grilled, it\u2019s deep fried. In some parts of Mississippi, they prefer doughburgers, which are basically the same thing , except flour and egg is substituted for the soybean grits.
