Mississippi truly was different from most States during Second Great Depression. Most States saw riots and looting in the cities, and law and order in the smaller towns and farmlands. But it was the rich and powerful gambling districts and cities of Mississippi that had power and security to keep them safe. And it was in the poor rural and small town regions that the evils of roving gangs and terrorists took hold, though they did manage to the storm the Capitol. The casinos helped coordinate the emergency election after the Governor was murdered, and they put forth a mutual candidate that would represent them all. He won easily, formed a new government on the Gulf Coast behind casino security lines, and proceeded to fight a long war to reclaim the rest of the State from the chaos it had fallen to.
