Mississippi's 6th congressional district
Mississippi's 6th congressional district existed from 1873 to 1963. It was created after the United States 1870 census and abolished following the 1960 census, due to changes in population.
Boundaries
The 6th congressional district boundaries included all of Covington, Forrest, George, Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson Davis, Lamar, Lawrence, Marion, Pearl River, Perry, Simpson and Wayne County. It also included the eastern portion of modern Walthall County (included as part of Marion County at that time) and all of modern Stone County (included as part of Harrison County at that time).[1]

gollark: Also, proprietary programs *may* use incompatible library versions and stuff sometimes, but you can probably get around that.
gollark: You may also need to turn off Secure Boot though, and x86 tablets often have UEFI weirdness.
gollark: I'm not sure if distro installers detect this, but it's not too hard to install the right bootloader manually.
gollark: This may be harder on those old x86 tablets because they have a weird setup with 32-bit UEFI and 64-bit processors for some odd reason.
