The Mighty Mississippi

quote:

---

The Tennessee flows north from Guntersville until it discharges into the Ohio River near Paducah at the Illinois-Kentucky border.

It’s just as much a midwest river as the Mississippi

---

Exactly zero miles of the Tennessee abut or flow through any midwestern state. There's about 800 miles of the Mississippi that do.

The Mississippi is as much Mark Twain as it is plantations and blues. (And, for that matter, the literal father of the blues was born on the Tennessee river in Florence, AL, and honed his craft in Guntersville before he ever set foot in Memphis on the Mississippi.).

The Mississippi River (Most important to the country in numerous ways, but it's ugly as shite)

5th most polluted river in the world. The Big Muddy is just that. Massive, muddy, and full of shite.

The Mississippi is a whore. Just takes the emissions from all these other rivers.

The Mississippi River
Obviously the Father of Waters but tainted by Yankee runoff
