So I wasn't going to but seeing how many people have done their home states.
I'd like to know what happens to mine.

Mississippi in your timelines

I like to make it the industrial heartland of the Confederacy in a timeline where Beauregard became President in the late 1880's and brought with him socialism. However in that scenario Beauregard doesn't change the South all that much, his successor Thomas C. Hindman does and under Hindman Mississippi booms with industry.
OTL Mississippi and Alabama are both divided along the 33rd Parallel. To the north is the (formerly) "native majority" Province of Alabama, and south of that line is the Province of West Florida. Andrew Jackson's brother Robert was Governor of West Florida during the 1820's. After the Supreme Court delt slavery 2 significant blows in the mid-1840's, West Florida Governor Wallace pledged, "slavery today; slavery tomorrow; slavery forever!"
It's part of the Capitania do Mariana, a Portuguese colony in the region known as Terraflorida. The river itself, known in IE as the Mariana forms the dividing line between European settlement and semi-Christianised vassal tribes to the West.
Mostly occupied by the Radical Spartakist nation of Liberia which is a okayish state for living standards with a distinctly israelish vibe and communal farms, the rest being some of the most rundown areas of the Old Confederacy after two civil wars and an economic collapse, the financial services and light industry boom of the Apalachicolan Union (or the ''Cola Bund' as most term it) being concentrated on the Atlantic coast.
In my current favourite layout, Mississippi covers the lands from 32°25' N up to 35° N stretching from the river itself to the Georgian border, so your bit of the OTL state (Tupelo?) is still part of this Mississippi.
The lands south of 32°25' to the sea are a successor to the West Florida province, and tend to be called either West Florida, Jackson or Washington depending on how the states come about, what order the trans-Appalachian states are created in and whether Washington becomes a renowned separatist leader or not.
