Poorest Region in the Deep South – Mississippi Delta 🇺🇸


Next to the banks of the Mississippi River is the Delta region, a land that feels removed from America. A distinct culture with a turbulent history… home of blues music and some of the warmest people in the world. Join me as we get lost on a road trip and learn from the ground up from the locals what this part of America is like.

  1. I always find it interesting that many of the conversations in the comments on these videos just devolve into the kind of bullshit that Peter is trying to dispel in the first place.

  2. Peter~I've watched many of your videos and I've got to say, many of them are eye openers. I've been Blessed to be able to travel a lot, but I've still learned a lot. Thank you for doing this.

  3. In spite of being in a really impoverished area you are driving on mostly really well maintained roads. It ain't that way in much of the world!😅

  4. I love your videos and there are so many (sad) stories…
    As far as you move through US, for me (at least) it is much harder to understand local´s vocabulary. 😀

  5. From all these videos it seems like the deep south is a place where almost any community will take you in and accept you as you are, as long as you're not a dickhead.

  6. I picked cotton one summer in Copiah County, MS. for a few days with a bunch of lady's and their kids, that had been doing it for a long time. We also hoed the fields. It was cool to just experience what it was like. It sucked and it was hot pay wasn't too bad for a kid back then.

  7. Preppers that want to go off grid. Small towns like these would be my choice.
    Preppers off grid are going to the wooded areas,,small towns are a great fit.

  8. What struck me most was that the people were very friendly and thoughtful of their communities and, surprisingly, didn't complain about what the government should be doing for them. They are a proud people. I'm from Canada and we tend to whine about what the government should do for us, which is quite different from what I see here.

  9. 建物はオシャレだし、街並みは素敵なのに、人々の生活が貧しいのは悲しいなぁ
    子供の頃は、アメリカの田舎町の生活に憧れてたよ

  10. I heard that two delta teachers were accused by a student of abuse students and school apparently paid $40,000 instead of defending the teachers. I don’t have answers. Some kids passed to next higher level..totally unprepared. A Marine came to teach but said he quit after weeks it was so brutal. People i met though were very nice.

  11. Kind of a bummer they want a dollar general. Why not an independent business? Better yet why not a co-op? But I suppose that’s as likely as someone buying that $5000 lot

  12. Bruh, even those poorest regions in Deep South look better and have more vibe than an average hometown in Russia or any other Post-Soviet country. God Bless America

  13. Peter, My family moved to the Delta when I was 16 in 1972. We moved to Moorhead.. My Parents left the Delta in 1993. Back then every Town in the Delta had at least 1 grocery store that was run by a Chinese Family. There were three in Moorhead in 1972. They were good business people and their children were outstanding students in Schools. The Delta we see today is nothing like what it was in 1972 when we moved there.
