Mississippi Coast
= BY CYRIL E. CAIN .


Along the Mississippi Coast and
up and down the Pascagoula river
so many things r referred to
as Spanish that some clarified
ton of the term seems necessary.
1t is Spanish moss in the forests,
a Spanish land grant in the land
records, a Spanish fort in Pasca-
goula, and all of these seem to
point very definitely TO a Span
ish regime or government some
where in the dim past. In a very
brief way this article is an at
tempt to outline the Spanish pc
Rod of government on the Mis-
siSsippi Coast.
During the American Revolu-
ton Spain entered the war
against Great Britain, not as
France did, to help the struggling
colonists, but in an effort to gain
back what she had lost in an earl
Ter war. Spain captured Baton
Rouge in 1879 and Pensacola and
Mobile later. The treaty at the
end of the American Revolution
confirmed the Spanish claims as
far north as the 3fst parallel
Thus the six coast counties OF
Mississippi along with parts OF
louisiana, Alabama, and Florida
became Spanish province.
Spain, contrary to expectations,
vas very latent towards the
French and British settlers al
ready in the province. While
Spain had every right to take
everything in the Conquered ter
ritory, she permitted the inhabi-
tants to retain their land and 9th
err possessions on condition that
they take the oath of allegiance
