Missouri Bootheel (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

The Missouri Bootheel is a salient located in the southeasternmost part of the U.S. state of Missouri, extending south of 36°30′ north latitude, so called because its shape in relation to the rest of the state resembles the heel of a boot. Strictly speaking, it is composed of the counties of Dunklin, New Madrid, and Pemiscot. However, the term is locally used to refer to the entire southeastern lowlands of Missouri located within the Mississippi Embayment, which includes parts of Butler, Mississippi, Ripley, Scott, Stoddard and extreme southern portions of Cape Girardeau and Bollinger counties. The largest city in the region is Kennett.

dbo:abstract The Missouri Bootheel is a salient located in the southeasternmost part of the U.S. state of Missouri, extending south of 36°30′ north latitude, so called because its shape in relation to the rest of the state resembles the heel of a boot. Strictly speaking, it is composed of the counties of Dunklin, New Madrid, and Pemiscot. However, the term is locally used to refer to the entire southeastern lowlands of Missouri located within the Mississippi Embayment, which includes parts of Butler, Mississippi, Ripley, Scott, Stoddard and extreme southern portions of Cape Girardeau and Bollinger counties. The largest city in the region is Kennett. Until the 1920s, the district was a wheat-growing area of family farms. Following the invasion of the boll weevil, which ruined the cotton crop in Arkansas, planters moved in. They bought up the land for conversion to cotton commodity crops, bringing along thousands of sharecroppers. After mechanization of agriculture and other changes in the 1930s, many black families left the area to go North in the Great Migration. These counties have predominantly white populations in the 21st century, although some have a significant number of black residents. (en) Le Missouri Bootheel (en français le « Talon de botte du Missouri ») est la partie la plus au sud-est de l'État américain du Missouri, s'étendant au sud du parallèle 36° 30′ de latitude nord. Il est ainsi appelée parce que sa forme par rapport au reste de l'État ressemble au talon d'une botte. Strictement parlant, il est composé des comtés de Dunklin, New Madrid et Pemiscot. Cependant, le terme est utilisé localement pour désigner l'ensemble des basses terres du sud-est du Missouri situé dans la baie du Mississippi ( (en)), qui comprend des parties des comtés de Butler, Mississippi, Ripley, Scott, Stoddard et l'extrême sud des comtés de Cape Girardeau et Bollinger. Kennett est la plus grande ville de la région. Jusqu'aux années 1920, le district était une zone de culture de blé par des fermes familiales. À la suite de l'invasion du Charançon du cotonnier, qui a ruiné la récolte de coton en Arkansas, état situé juste au sud du Missouri, les planteurs y ont emménagé. Ils ont acheté les terres pour les convertir en culture de coton, amenant avec eux des milliers de métayers. Après la mécanisation de l'agriculture et d'autres changements dans les années 1930, de nombreuses familles noires ont quitté la région pour se diriger vers le nord lors de la Grande migration. Ces comtés ont une population majoritairement blanche au XXIe siècle, bien que quelques-uns aient d'importantes minorités de Noirs. (fr) Il Missouri Bootheel (letteralmente "tallone del Missouri") è la parte sud-orientale dello stato del Missouri, che si estende a sud del 36° 30' di latitudine nord, così chiamata perché la sua forma rispetto al resto dello stato assomiglia al tacco di uno stivale. A rigor di termini, è composta dalle contee di Dunklin, New Madrid e Pemiscot. Tuttavia, il termine è usato localmente per riferirsi a tutte le pianure del sud-est del Missouri situate all'interno dell', che comprende parti delle contee di Butler, Mississippi, Ripley, Scott, Stoddard e quelle meridionali estreme di Cape Girardeau e Bollinger. La città più grande della regione è Kennett. Il Bootheel e il confine Oklahoma-Kansas-Missouri vicino al formano i due più grandi jogs in una linea quasi dritta di confini di stato che inizia sull'Oceano Atlantico con il confine tra la Virginia e la Carolina del Nord e si estende fino al confine tristato tra Nevada, Arizona e Utah. Fino agli anni 1920 il distretto era un'area di coltivazione di grano delle fattorie familiari. Dopo l'invasione del punteruolo, che rovinò il raccolto del cotone nell'Arkansas, i piantatori si trasferirono. Comprarono il terreno piantando il cotone al posto delle colture presenti, portando con sé migliaia di mezzadri. Dopo la meccanizzazione dell'agricoltura e altri cambiamenti avvenuti negli anni 1930, molte famiglie di neri lasciarono l'area per andare a nord durante la grande migrazione afroamericana. Queste contee avevano popolazioni prevalentemente bianche nel XXI secolo, sebbene alcune abbiano significative minoranze di neri. (it)
