IN SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES. APRIL 16, 1816 [bound with]: REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE TO WHICH WAS REFERRED, ON THE 9th INSTANT, THE MEMORIAL OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE MISSISSIPPI TERRITORY, PRAYING ... Three government documents concerning the admission of Mississippi as a state. It includes a census of the population of the territory, enumerating both white and black, free and slave residents. It also recommends that the territory be split into two regions - "The geographical position of this Territory may render it necessary that its military defences should be more combined than would, at all times, be practicable in two distinct sovereignties." The result would be the state of Mississippi in 1817 and the separated Alabama Territory.
