Following the nearby Battle of Vicksburg in 1863 during the American Civil War, Union forces under the command of General William Tecumseh Sherman began the siege of Jackson and the city was subsequently burned.During the 1920s, Jackson surpassed Meridian to become the most populous city in the state following a speculative natural gas boom in the region. The current slogan for the city is The City with Soul. It has had numerous musicians prominent in blues, gospel, folk, and jazz. The city is located in the deep south halfway between Memphis and New Orleans on Interstate 55 and Dallas and Atlanta on Interstate 20. Being at this location has given the city the nickname the crossroads of the south.

Other notable locations are the Mississippi Coliseum and the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium, home of the Jackson State Tigers Football Team.

Vlog
-
Vlog is short for video blog and is pronounced vlog (one syllable). A vlog is a blog, or web log, that includes video clips. It may be entirely video-based or may include both video and written commentary. Several types of vlogs are available on the Web, including instructional videos, travel updates, and personal commentaries.
People who create vlogs are known as vloggers. Some vloggers post videos for fun, while others run vlogs for the purpose of generating revenue through advertisements. While its possible to set up a vlog website, many vloggers post their vlogs on YouTube since it makes their videos easier to find. Additionally, YouTube offers free video hosting, which means vloggers can post unlimited videos without paying web hosting fees.
In order to create a vlog, all you need is a video camera, an Internet connection, and a good idea. While a simple cell phone video camera can get the job done, a standalone HD video camera will produce much higher quality videos. You can publish videos as often as you like, though if you decide to maintain a blog, it helps to post them at consistent intervals, such as once a day or once a week. This helps your viewers know when new videos will be available, which makes them more likely to continue visiting your vlog.
